The digital-to-analog converter, sometimes called a D/A converter or aDAC, is one of the most commonly used mixed-signal circuits; that is, it processes both analog and digital signals in the same circuit. Its input signals are digital, often derived from amicroprocessoror a computer bus, ...
analog-to-digital converter n.Abbr.ADC An electronic device that takes an electrical signal as an input, and yields a digital output signal representing the strength of the source signal, commonly used for recording digital audio. Also calledA/D converter. ...
Digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), Process by which digital signals (which have a binary state) are converted to analog signals (which theoretically have an infinite number of states). For example, a modem converts computer digital data to analog audio-
Analog signals are a type of signal sent in a continuous wave. These waves can vary in both amplitude and frequency. We can compare these types of waves to waves in the ocean, bobbing up and down and at different speeds and heights.What...
In the general case of a digital-to-analog R-2R ladder network converter, the expression of the output voltage depends on the digital code that can be found on the input and also on the reference voltage: vS=Eref∑j=1nan‐j2j The coefficients a(n-j) can only assume the values “0...
A dedicated digital-to-analog network audio bridging system. A personal computer equipped with a network card is utilized to transmit digital audio data over a home-based data network using, for example, home telephone lines as the communication medium. A special purpose receiving device receives ...
I don't want to debate dacs, the conversion, or the analog out...I want to discuss the digital source input only. What is the best digital source. Are any perfect? Can it be measured to verify so it is not debatable? I mean we are talking ones and zero...
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an A/D converter circuit which does not need a negative reference power source.;SOLUTION: A level-shifting means 7 shifts the level of an analog input signal by a second reference voltage signal Vref 2. With an analog switch 4 being set to off, a curren...
An improved modulator network for an interpolative oversampled (sigma-delta) analog-to-digital converter comprises a second-order modulator (20), which performs double integration (22,24) of error between its digital output signal and its analog input signal, and a first-order modulator (30), ...
