Analog-filter designs manage an uncommonly large number of core parameters compared with designs of other analog-circuit-block types. First, the application usually suggests the overall spectral shape ...

Intersil's Michael Steffes details how every semi company tests new analog-to-digital converter products in the lab in order to obtain data-sheet values for SFDR and SNR, then compares the test ...

For many analog-to-digital converter (ADC) applications, a simple passive resistor/capacitor (RC) filter at the buffer input will provide adequate antialiasing filtering. However, an active filter is ...

Our guest author is Matthew Hann, SAR ADC Product Line Manager, Texas Instruments. One of the most challenging aspects in optimizing the performance of a successive-approximation-register ...

There comes a time in every electronic designer’s life when, whether they know it or not, they need an analog filter in their design. If you’re coming from a digital background, where everything is ...

Analog filter design remains a cornerstone of modern signal processing, instrumental in a vast array of applications spanning telecommunications, instrumentation, and biomedical engineering. Recent ...

In this article, we highlight one of the most important architectural traits of new continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) precision ADCs: the easy to drive resistive input and reference. The key to ...

Precision signal chain designers are challenged to meet noise performance demands in medium bandwidth applications and often end up making a trade-off between noise performance and accuracy. Achieving ...

The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is a key component in digital communications receive channels, and the correct choice of ADC is critical for optimizing system design. In this article, we discuss ...
