The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

Broadcasters seeking to implement digital television (DTV) know that it is critically important to introduce this service in the timeliest and most cost-efficient manner without reducing the ...

Oscilloscopes provide critical signal visibility for debugging, testing, and ensuring that electronic systems match developers’ imaginations. Specifying when the oscilloscope captures information ...

Many applications require a method of switching an analog or a digital signal on or off under digital control. A “wish list” of specifications for such a switch might include attenuation of less than ...

TI's Ian Bower looks at the differences between implenting analog and mixed-signal functionality hardware and firmware with the goalof helping designers in one domain comfortable when working with ...

A great many industrial sensors — flow, level, temperature, pressure, pH, and the list goes on — produce a 4-20 mA output, but today's factories increasingly need digital inputs via standard field ...

With a new breed of analog/mixed-signal foundries arriving on the scene, fabless and fab-lite companies can create a huge variety of high-yielding designs. As a result, these fabless and fab-lite ...
