Every modern computer has a microprocessor in it, but not many have a digital signal processor (DSP). Since the CPU is a digital device, it clearly processes digital data, so you might wonder what the ...

In the first installment of this course, we learned that a digital value is a quantity that varies “in steps” and can take on only a finite number of values. In today’s logic systems, only two ...

Confused by analog-to-digital converter specifications? Here's a primer to help you decipher them and make the right decisions for your project. Although manufacturers use common terms to describe ...

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...

Optical or magnetic sensors for position and angle sensing in motion control systems generally provide sine and cosine signals for conversion. The 90° phase shift between sine and cosine allows ...

greenTEG’s laser power detectors with digital signal output will be presented at Optatec, hall 3, booth J25. With the digital signal output of the laser power detectors you will no longer have to ...

My music server (an old desktop PC) finally died and I'm looking to build a new box to replace it. Due to the age of my receiver, I need the new server to output digital audio via an S/PDIF coaxial ...

Broadband communications equipment is increasingly pushing the envelope of mixed-signal technology in terms of speed, distortion, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and cost. Many broadband wireless systems ...
