Canadian electronics geek and nascent YouTuber [Technoyaki] wanted to measure 20 volt signals on his Arduino. One might typically use a voltage divider to knock them down to the 5 volt range of the ...

Engineers always want to get all they can from their circuits; this holds for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). To maximize performance from an ADC, resolution is perhaps the primary spec to focus ...

Analog-to-digital converters, or ADCs, are somewhat monolithic devices for most users, a black box that you ask nicely for the value on its input, and receive a number in return. For most readers, ...

Many data-acquisition systems require both high accuracy and a fast acquisition rate. These attributes allow the system to detect small data signals and to group more sensor channels into the same ...

Renesas has brought out a sensor signal conditioner (SSC) – the ZSSC3240 – for sensor applications such as resistive pressure sensors and medical infrared thermometers features with up to 24 bits ADC ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. 2013 has been a remarkable year for performance improvements in successive-approximation architecture (SAR) ...

CHANDLER, AZ—To address applications that demand higher-speed and higher-resolution analog-to-digital conversion, Microchip Technology Inc. has announced 12 new Successive Approximation Register (SAR) ...

This article explores key mixed-signal applications, highlighting the difference between signal-path faults and rail-driven ...
