One of these areas is interfacing to the sampling networks of analog-to-digital-converters. Today's high-performance A/D converters are based on highly oversampled multi-bit delta-sigma conversion ...

In most cases, you'll find that if the sampling rate can be kept between 2.5 kHz and 5 kHz, digital control systems, though not as fast as their analog counterparts, will be more than adequate for ...

An external buffer circuit may be required to supply the needed current and ensure that the sampling node is properly settled to maintain linearity. However, at higher switching frequencies the ...

The optimized ADC-driver circuit in Figure 1 uses an op amp to separate the ADC from high-impedance signal sources. The following RC lowpass filter, R IN and C IN, performs functions going back to the ...

Surprisingly, the design is not specific to high-frame-rate applications. Sony has taken this architecture one step further in the IMX017 camcorder CMOS-image sensor. The device uses a digital, rather ...

A team of engineers, physicists and quantum specialists at Google Research has found that reducing noise to a certain level allows the company's sycamore quantum chip to beat classical computers ...
