How important are the differences between sigma-delta and successive-approximation architectures in choosing an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter? They can often be an important factor in initiating ...
An effective method for filtering high frequency power supply noise and cleanly sharing similar voltage supply rails (that is, analog and digital rails for mixed-signal ICs) while preserving high ...
The diagram inside the applet shows a basic first order sigma-delta modulator. More sophisticated parts may have multiple modulators and integrators however these tend to obscure the underlying ...
Modern signal processing system design utilizing ADCs, PLLs, and RF transceivers demands lower power consumption and higher system performance. Selecting proper power supplies for those noise ...
Q: ADI has published a lot of information on dealing with capacitive loading and other stability issues in books, such as the amplifier seminar series, in earlier issues of Analog Dialogue, and in ...
Although it is advantageous to implement op-amp circuits with balanced dual supplies, there are many practical applications where, for energy conservation or other reasons, single-supply operation is ...
This article introduces the basic topologies and suggests good practical usage for ensuring stable operation of low-dropout voltage regulators (LDOs). We will also discuss design characteristics of ...
One common method for determining the tilt or inclination of a system is to integrate the output of a gyroscope. Although this method is straightforward, error ...
Sensitivity, the ratio of the analog output voltage or digital output value to the input pressure, is a key specification of any microphone. Mapping units in the acoustic domain to units in the ...
Analog Devices offers true buck/boost synchronous dc-to-dc converters. With their unique internal four MOSFET switch combination, these switching regulators can seamlessly transition from step-down ...
This application note provides design and manufacturing guidance in the use of the lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP). The LFCSP is compliant with JEDEC MO220 and MO229 outlines. The LFCSP is a ...
Establishing a new benchmark for speed and RF phase-noise performance, the ADF4106 Phase-Locked-Loop Synthesizer is fully specified to operate at frequencies up to 6.0 GHz. This allows designs for the ...
