During the last three years, the mixed-signal system-on-chip (SoC) market has grown consistently. Industry analyst firm IBS Corp. estimates that by 2006, more than 70 percent of all SoCs will contain ...

The design and optimisation of analog-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-analog converters (DACs) play a pivotal role in modern electronic systems, bridging the gap between the analog real world ...

Today's analog system designers face many design challenges. Not only do designers need to select the proper integrated-circuit components, but they also must accurately predict the interactions of ...

One of the most challenging tasks in Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) design is to adapt the cicuitry to ever new CMOS process technology. For digital circuits the number of gates per square mm app.

The AD4081 20-bit, 20 MSPS SAR ADC from Analog Devices are designed for high-performance data acquisition systems.

Members can download this article in PDF format. Thomas Jefferson once elegantly stated that some truths we can hold to be self-evident. In electronics design, one of these truths is this: Nature ...

I’ve been following the spectacular success of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)—a partnership consisting of NASA, European Space Agency (ESA), and Canadian Space Agency (CSA)—as well as looking ...

Today’s high-precision analog systems need low-noise positive and negative voltage rails to power precision analog circuits such as analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog converters, bipolar ...

Munich/Germany and Honolulu/Hawaii – June 21, 2004 – At the 2004 Symposia on VLSI Technologies and Circuits, June 15 - 19 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, Infineon Technologies demonstrated several ...

Back in the day where the microprocessor was our standard building block, we tended to concentrate on computation and processing of data and not so much on I/O. Simply put there were a lot of things ...

We often think of analog computing as a relic of the past, room-sized monstrosities filled with vacuum tubes doing their best to calculate Monte Carlo simulations or orbital velocities. Analog isn’t ...
