Driving an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for optimum mixed-signal performance is a design challenge. Figure 1 shows a standard ADC driver circuit. During ADC acquisition time, the sampling ...

Meeting the demanding performance requirements of today’s system-on-a-chip (SoC) applications, whether in high-data-rate telecom systems or high-quality audio and video equipment, requires extensive ...

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 ...

When using an active front-end amplifier to drive a high-speed converter, designing an anti-aliasing filter (AAF) can be a difficult task. It’s important to get it right because anti-aliasing is the ...

Analog Devices (ADI) has introduced a radio frequency (RF) analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) that delivers improved levels of speed and bandwidth. The AD9213 features higher parametric performance, ...

Wolfson Microelectronics has a high input voltage ADC with an extended clocking scheme, to interface to a wider range of host processors. An ADC sampling frequency of up to 192kHz allows for a greater ...

When evaluating ADCs, you can duplicate the performance of the coherent test setups of expensive benchtop testers by using a synthesizer within a phase locked loop (PLL). Such a system can achieve ...

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 ...
