People have been converting digital-to-analog quantities for a long time. Probably among the earliest uses was the summing of calibrated weights (Figure A1, left) in weighing applications. Early electrical digital-to-analog conversion inevitably ...

Umesh Jayamohan, Analog Devices Analog Dialogue Introduction The design of the input, or front end, of any high-performance analog-to-digital converter (ADC), especially an RF-sampling ADC, is critical to achieving the desired system-level ...

Steven Xie, Analog Devices Analog Dialogue Introduction Successive-approximation analog-to-digital converters, called SAR ADCs due to their successive-approximation register, are popular for applications requiring up to 18-bit resolution at up to 5 ...

Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Maxim Integrated, and Linear Technology have launched 18-bit and even 20-bit resolution SARs at sampling rates of 500 to 5000 ksamples/s 2013 has been a remarkable year for performance improvements in ...

Martin Murnane, Analog Devices Solar Photovoltaic Inverters A major portion of the electrical energy produced directly from the sun’s radiation is generated by solar photovoltaic (PV) cells, which convert photons of light energy to electron ...
