It’s a counterintuitive result that you might need to add noise to an input signal to get the full benefits from oversampling in analog to digital conversion. [Paul Allen] steps us through a simple ...

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 noise‐shaping successive approximation register (NS‐SAR) analogue‐to‐digital converter represents an attractive hybrid architecture that merges the inherent energy efficiency and simplicity of ...

Shown is a simplified continuous-time sigma-delta ADC model, comprising a sigma-delta modulator and a decimation filter. The DT-S? input structure typically implements switched capacitors, and CT-S?

It can be shown that for a PAM-4 link with Gaussian noise achieving 1E-12 BER, the SNR has to be 24.5 dB, but what does this mean? What’s the top consideration that network and data center SoC/systems ...

Sequential sampling (top) results in interchannel timing skew, which simultaneous sampling prevents. An archived Webcast provides details. In the Webcast “Overcoming Noise in Data Acquisition” (Ref. 1 ...

The expanded availability of high-speed and very-high-speed ADCs and digital processing is making oversampling a practical architectural approach for broadband and RF systems. Semiconductor scaling ...
