The data converter has acted as the bridge between the analog (real) world and the digital world for a few decades now. Starting with discrete elements that took up multiple rack spaces and burnt lots ...

Commercial time-interleaved ADCs have been available since the early 2000’s. Since then the number of academic and industry-sponsored articles showing the advantages of interleaving has been steadily ...

A number of ways to reduce power consumption in ADC circuit designs are described. Fig 1. Resistive-attenuator options for measuring high-voltage signals offer a simple way to limit an input signal to ...

Positioning analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) in a modern digital receiver is an important issue that strongly impacts the design choices and the implementation costs. To place the ADC immediately ...

Meeting the demanding performance requirements of today’s system-on-a-chip (SoC) applications, whether in high-data-rate telecom systems or high-quality audio and video equipment, requires extensive ...

Imec has developed a compact, highly linear 3.2 giga-sample-per-second (GSps) RF-sampling ADC that uses ring amplification (ringamp). The ADC has a record low power consumption of 61.3mW and supports ...
