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 ...

Multi-rate processing and sample rate conversion, or interpolation and decimation as they re known, are a clever digital signal processing (DSP) techniques that broadband and wireless design engineers ...

As high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have increased in sampling rate, so has the problem of code errors — also known as sparkle codes — in the ADC ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Photonic analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) represents a paradigm shift in signal processing by leveraging the inherent advantages of photonic devices to digitise analog signals. The approach aims to ...

Do you keep hearing people talk about sampling rate in music? But aren’t certain what that actually is?? Well, friend, you’ve come to the right place. On a fundamental level, sampling rate is a result ...

You’re looking to dive into the world of audiophilia, and you’re instantly bombarded with terms that you don’t know. Hey, it happens to all of us! The best thing to do is to start slow and get your ...

Integrating a precision current-sense amplifier and two 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) channels, Texas Instruments’ LMP92064 can simultaneously capture voltage and current data. In addition, ...
