Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) perform conversions by comparing the input voltage level against the reference input; therefore, the accuracy, stability and noise of the reference directly affect ...

[Editor's note to readers: this article has several corrections: Figure 3 is corrected; also, some math symbols in equations in “Averaging to Achieve Better Resolution” and in “Bias Current ...

Linear Technology introduces the LTC2311-16, a 16-bit, 5Msps successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter with a wide rail-to-rail input common mode range. Instrumentation and medical ...

When it comes to getting signals from an analog world into our computers, most of us don’t give much thought to how the hardware that does the job works. But as it turns out, there are a number of ...

All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount ofinput-referred noise. In most cases,less input noise is better. There are some cases, however, where inputnoise can actually be helpful ...

In our previous blog about the importance of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), we focused on the various architectures that are in common usage for the Industrial Internet of Things. In particular, ...

In a balanced op-amp circuit, the op-amp inputs see equal impedances looking into the circuit. Balanced circuits provide better performance by cancelling some input errors and have a simple R F /R I ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

There comes a time in every electronic designer’s life when, whether they know it or not, they need an analog filter in their design. If you’re coming from a digital background, where everything is ...
