Did You Know? The “real” world we are living in is Analog! Whether it is sound, light, temperature or humidity, all are continuously varying things. However, when we want to communicate with the ...

All naturally occurring phenomena and signals are analog in nature. When we want to process these natural signals, it is understood that whatever data comes from the external world first needs to be ...

As its name implies, the function of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is to convert analog signals to digital representations for processing by a microcontroller (MCU), field-programmable gate ...

Back in the day where the microprocessor was our standard building block, we tended to concentrate on computation and processing of data and not so much on I/O. Simply put there were a lot of things ...

In previous installments of the AudioFile, we've talked about basic PCM audio, which encodes audio into a series of numbers that a computer can play or manipulate. We've also discussed the process of ...

CHANDLER, AZ—To address applications that demand higher-speed and higher-resolution analog-to-digital conversion, Microchip Technology Inc. has announced 12 new Successive Approximation Register (SAR) ...

A Raspberry Pi 5 has the ability to capture video via attached cameras and access the Internet using wired and wireless protocols, all while driving a pair of personal computer displays. However, if ...

A great many industrial sensors — flow, level, temperature, pressure, pH, and the list goes on — produce a 4-20 mA output, but today's factories increasingly need digital inputs via standard field ...
