complete systems-on-a-chip (SoC) has replaced the discrete components that once populated boards. The benefit of such systems is reduced system cost, increased reliability, and decreased size. IC ...

Incremental analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and delta-sigma modulators represent two advanced architectures that have been pivotal in high-precision signal processing. Incremental ADCs convert ...

MUNICH, Germany — Sigma Delta analog-to-digital converters used to be a topic for academic researchers. Now National Semiconductor claims it has implemented the industry's first high-speed Sigma Delta ...

Sigma-delta converters are in wide use among applications that demand high precision and accuracy. A variant of the sigma-delta architecture, called the continuous-time sigma delta (CT-S?), has found ...

Basic review of how the different kinds of analog-to-ditital converters wor, with a sidebar relating them to appropriate applications. ADCs quantize time-varying analog voltages into a sequence of ...
