I finally managed to get to a book that has been on my “to read” list for quite a while: “Beyond Measure: The Hidden History of Measurement from Cubits to Quantum Constant” (2022) by James Vincent ...

The current state of engineers working in analog signal-path engineering. Who they are, their ages, experience, and their time in the practice. Signal-path design refers to the process of designing ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

Digital circuit design is largely automated today, but most analog components still are designed manually. This may change soon. As analog design grows increasingly complex and error-prone, design ...

Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

Tool developers have been working to keep pace with these requirements. For example, Synopsys has delivered faster circuit simulation performance every year, with improvements in both single core ...

The design and optimisation of analog-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-analog converters (DACs) play a pivotal role in modern electronic systems, bridging the gap between the analog real world ...

WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Analog Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADI) today introduced a new portfolio of next-generation 16-to-24-bit, ultra-high precision successive approximation register (SAR) ...

In this series, I have written eleven articles (see reference section) about the AC performance of systems with SAR-ADCs and delta-sigma ADCs. The target applications were sensor-based that, ...
