Ground loops can degrade circuit performance and ruin your day. Follow these tips to prevent them from occurring in circuits ...
In previous installments of the AudioFile, we've talked about basic PCM audio, which encodes audio into a series of numbers that a computer can play or manipulate. We've also discussed the process of ...
What differentiates a mixed-signal printed circuit board design from a purely analog board or a purely digital system? What differentiates a mixed-signal printed circuit board design from a purely ...
This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Rob Reeder, Senior System Application Engineer, Analog Devices Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are used in a wide ...
Cypress's Dave Van Ess proposes a novel way of analyzing mixed-signal circuits in terms of serializing the digitized analog signal and then assesing the relative time the signal is high. As an “old ...
Bad Fast Fourier Transfer (FFT) data captures can cause you to misunderstand the true performance of your analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Some engineers like to coherently sample and capture data ...
Analog fault simulation in mixed‐signal circuits is a critical tool for ensuring the robustness and reliability of systems that integrate both analogue and digital components. This field addresses the ...
A newly drafted IEEE standard will bring more consistency to defect metrics in analog/mixed (AMS) designs, a long-overdue step that has become too difficult to ignore in the costly heterogeneous ...
