The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

How analog signal engineering is performed, in broad strokes. What are the component-selection considerations for new designs? What are VFAs and how are they used? Analog signal engineers specialize ...

Analog input protection for high performance signal chains is often a pain point for system designers. There is typically a significant trade-off between analog performance (leakage, on resistance, ...

Analog circuit design is increasingly encountering mixed-signal circuits, and analog engineers need some understanding of discrete-time sampling circuits, whether they are sample-and-hold circuits or ...

This Design Brief introduces a computationally efficient network that computes the derivative of a discrete time-domain (digital) sequence. While recursive differentiating networks exist, this article ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) today announced the introduction of the PS508 and PS509 analog multiplexers that are capable of switching signal voltages of up to 36V ...

Machines need sensors and transmitters to operate reliably and consistently. All it takes is a small drop in air pressure or a slight jam to cause a machine to crash; these sorts of problems can often ...

Having problems with your process controls and electrical instrumentation? The source may be a grounding disturbance known as a ground loop. According to the ANSI/ IEEE Standard Dictionary of ...

Level-crossing analog-to-digital converters (LC-ADCs) represent an innovative approach to signal digitisation that departs from conventional uniform sampling. Instead of capturing signals at fixed ...

I did some research a number of years ago about getting discrete 5.1 or 7.1 audio from either an onboard or dedicated sound card when using a digital connection such as SPDIF/Optical to a capable ...

The world of analog components is broad and diverse, and while testing analog chips may not take as long as running tests on complex SoCs, there are different requirements for analog devices. One type ...
