Guy Hoover

Guy Hoover is an applications engineer specializing in SAR ADC applications support at Analog Devices. He has over 30 years of experience at as a technician, an IC design engineer, and an applications engineer. He began his career at Linear Technology as a technician, learning from industry luminaries including Bob Dobkin, Bob Widlar, Carl Nelson, and Tom Redfern, while working on op amps, comparators, switching regulators, and ADCs, as well as designing SAR ADCs. Guy graduated from DeVry Institute of Technology (now DeVry University) with a BS in electronics engineering technology.

Guy retired in 2023.

Active Antialias Filter for 24-bit ADC Features Low Distortion, High SNR
A high-resolution SAR ADC often needs a higher-order antialiasing filter, such as the third-order version provided by this low-noise, low-power design. For many analog-to-digital converter (ADC) applications, a...

Voltage reference filter increases 32-bit ADC SNR by 6dB
Design Note 568 Attaining optimal SNR performance from an ADC isn’t just a matter of providing a low noise signal to the ADC’s input. Providing a low noise reference voltage is just as important. While...

Low Power, Precision Op Amp Simplifies Driving of MUXed ADCs
Design Note 1034 Introduction The high speed op amps required to buffer a modern 16 /18-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) typically dissipate as much power as the ADC itself, often with a maximum offset spec...

Micropower Op Amp Drives 8-Channel 18-Bit Simultaneous Sampling ADC without Compromising Accuracy or Breaking the Power Budget
Design Note 541 The op amps used to drive 18-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) typically draw as much supply current as the ADC itself, often with a maximum offset spec that is well above that of the ADC. If...
