With the world today moving towards increased safety concerns, automobile technology is trying to match pace by methods which we commonly refer to as “active safety”. The active safety measures are ...

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 ...

[Editor's note to readers: this article has several corrections: Figure 3 is corrected; also, some math symbols in equations in “Averaging to Achieve Better Resolution” and in “Bias Current ...

Optical encoders (incremental/absolute), sonar receivers, fiber optic networks (EDFA gain control), power quality monitoring, medical imaging equipment, impedance ...

The critical component in all digital communications receivers is the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC sampling rate, bandwidth, and noise tolerance establishes the specifications and ...

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 ...

Precision signal chain designers are challenged to meet noise performance demands in medium bandwidth applications and often end up making a trade-off between noise performance and accuracy. Achieving ...

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 ...
