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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
