Many power ICs use frequency jitter, which spreads a control signal's spectrum, to control EMI (electromagnetic interference). If you need to add frequency jitter to power ICs that control three-phase ...

When designing with interconnects, we're often concerned about issues such as crosstalk and reflections. We frequently ask for models from the manufacturers so we can run simulations to determine the ...

The analysis of RF and microwave signals in the frequency domain used to be the forte of the spectrum analyzer, but now it’s become a choice between signal analyzers and digital oscilloscopes. How did ...

Today’s successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and sigma-delta ADCs are known for their high resolution and low noise. Nevertheless, achieving signal-to-noise (SNR ...

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 ...

Every modern computer has a microprocessor in it, but not many have a digital signal processor (DSP). Since the CPU is a digital device, it clearly processes digital data, so you might wonder what the ...
