High-speed digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have different distortion properties than other analog components. The more purely analog components such as ...

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 ...

Applications such as test equipment and digital radio for electronic intelligence are pushing the limits for both dynamic range and data rates. This drive is increasing the need for high-rate, ...

Fig 1. In a typical PWM controller in which the active devices are driven by a simple square wave, a Fourier representation of the clock’s frequency spectrum consists of the fundamental switching ...
