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 ...

This article explores key mixed-signal applications, highlighting the difference between signal-path faults and rail-driven ...

How analog signal engineering is performed, in broad strokes. What are the component-selection considerations for new designs? What are VFAs and how are they used? Analog signal engineers specialize ...

As engineers, you use many components and devicesevery day that you treat as black boxes. You are concernedonly about the inputs and outputs of the blackbox, and that approach is acceptable provided ...

The current state of engineers working in analog signal-path engineering. Who they are, their ages, experience, and their time in the practice. Signal-path design refers to the process of designing ...

Analog chips can be divided into two categories, one is the signal chain type, and the other is the power management type. In recent years, some local manufacturers have entered the market from a ...

Anritsu has expanded the frequency range of its Rubidium family of signal generators with the introduction of the MG36271A, which covers 9 kHz to 70 GHz. The MG36271A brings high signal purity, ...

Level-crossing analog-to-digital converters (LC-ADCs) represent an innovative approach to signal digitisation that departs from conventional uniform sampling. Instead of capturing signals at fixed ...

A sensor signal conditioner (SSC) is an integrated circuit that improves — or conditions — the signal coming from a sensor to reduce noise. The SSC also converts the signal from analog to digital ...
