A newly drafted IEEE standard will bring more consistency to defect metrics in analog/mixed (AMS) designs, a long-overdue step that has become too difficult to ignore in the costly heterogeneous ...

A few years back, I needed a quick, low-frequency, yet very low distortion source to test an onboard micro-controller ADC to see if it had anywhere near the effective number of bits (ENOB) and ...

In today’s digital world, concerns about electromagnetic radiation exposure are on the rise. As a result, many individuals are turning to EMF (electromagnetic frequency) protection products, including ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are an essential part of the automation sector, particularly factory automation. PLCs are classified as voltage and current inputs and convert real-world signals ...

Differences between digital and analog triggering. Advantages of digital triggering. How to tell what type of triggering is used by an oscilloscope. An oscilloscope’s trigger function, which ...

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 ...

The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...
