Bad Fast Fourier Transfer (FFT) data captures can cause you to misunderstand the true performance of your analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Some engineers like to coherently sample and capture data ...

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 ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are an essential part of the automation sector, particularly factory automation. PLCs are classified as voltage and current inputs and convert real-world signals ...

Past columns have discussed sampling analog signals and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technologies. In my experience, though, engineers who simply want to use ADCs rather than design with them, ...

Give a child on a swing a push, and it takes time for the "system" to return to equilibrium. The same effect occurs when a sensor signal changes quickly and passes through an anti-alias filter or a ...

Requirements for different types of sample rates. Conversion techniques for these different sample rates. Synchronous and asynchronous sample-rate conversion. This article starts with an overview of ...
