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 ...

Back in the day where the microprocessor was our standard building block, we tended to concentrate on computation and processing of data and not so much on I/O. Simply put there were a lot of things ...

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 ...

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 ...

While we all went through intensive course work in engineering school studying analog-to-digital converters (ADC), operational amplifiers (Op Amp), digital-to-analog converters (DAC) and other ...

A signal chain consists of several components, such as amplifiers, data converters, interface, clocks and timing. The purpose of the signal chain is to gather and process data or apply system controls ...
