Functionality of ADC/DACs, their performance characteristics, and how they have been improved. Advantages, disadvantages, and applications of various ADC/DAC architectures. How ADC/DACs are used in ...

The most important thing to remember about both DACs and ADCs is that either the input or output is digital, and therefore the signal is quantized. That is, an N-bit word represents one of 2N possible ...

When working with mixed-signal technology, you will find that the subject of dithering keeps showing up. Most engineers know that averaging “n” samples of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) will ...

The ability to support an ADSL system over a very long reach at maximum data speed is limited by many factors, including the allowed transmission power, loop signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), ...

QNKTC, or Quantization Noise Killed The Cat, to give the company its full and rather strange name, has announced the AB-1.2 USB DAC. This third version of the company's DAC delivers audio files up to ...
