An EDN Design Idea (DI) presented a discussion of how to increase the resolution of an ADC by adding a non-deterministic, zero-mean, Gaussian noise dither waveform to a signal to be converted; then, ...

Certain types of low-level DC signals can present a challenge when trying to digitize using the internal analog-to-digital Converter (A/D) commonly found on many microcontrollers. These A/Ds typically ...

When modifying dc voltage from high to low or vice versa in a design, it’s important to have a clear understanding of the different converter types involved in the process. Power supplies represent ...

As its name implies, the function of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is to convert analog signals to digital representations for processing by a microcontroller (MCU), field-programmable gate ...

I have wanted to make a pulse generator for years. I know you can buy perfectly good ones, but not if you want non-overlapping outputs to drive the mosfets in synchronous-rectified dc-dc converters.

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 ...
