So, I was consulting into one of our teams that was putting together a cool data acquisition subsystem. They wanted to use (OK, I admit it, I also wanted them to use) my DIY AC line filter (as written ...

The sources of noise in a signal chain can be either internal or external. Managing noise in the signal chain requires meticulous examination of each circuit in the chain to minimize noise where ...

Regular Contributor Dave Van Ess from Cypress Semiconductor reviews ADC noise sources, design implicatons of inherent noise, and ways to minimize circuit-generated noise. 1. Quantization is noise. 2.

It’s a counterintuitive result that you might need to add noise to an input signal to get the full benefits from oversampling in analog to digital conversion. [Paul Allen] steps us through a simple ...

A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) lets us express the relationship between signal and noise powers, as well as between the root-mean-square (rms) values of signal and noise voltages: SNR (dB) = ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Noise is a central topic in analog circuit design, directly affecting how much information can be extracted from a ...

Specifications for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) often include a fast Fourier transform (FFT) plot, such as the one shown in the figure, for a 12-bit ADC with a single-frequency input signal. In ...

The market for audio applications and devices has significantly grown over the last couple of years. Applications such as smart speakers, Bluetooth speakers, smartphones, and voice-controlled ...
