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 ...

Mixed-signal designs combine the most powerful features and advantages of both analog and digital circuitry. One common mixed-signal architecture is a chain of analog signal blocks, each controlled by ...

Level-crossing analog-to-digital converters (LC-ADCs) represent an innovative approach to signal digitisation that departs from conventional uniform sampling. Instead of capturing signals at fixed ...

The future of design is here, and artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a powerful ally in the world of signal integrity. AI isn’t just about doing more with less; it’s about doing things ...

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 ...

Ground loops can degrade circuit performance and ruin your day. Follow these tips to prevent them from occurring in circuits ...

There is a rapidly growing need for power-efficient artificial intelligence (AI) to run on smaller devices at the edge. Power-hungry edge devices send massive amounts of data to and from the cloud. At ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss what’s changing in analog design with the shift toward heterogeneous integration and more safety- and mission-critical applications with Mo Faisal, ...

[Tim] noticed recently that a large number of projects recreating discrete logic tend to do so with technology around 70 years old like resistor-transistor logic (RTL) or diode-transistor logic (DTL).

If you’ve ever listened to an MP3, watched a movie on Netflix, or jumped on a Zoom call, you’ve used a DAC. Digital-to-analog converters (or DACs for short) are the unsung heroes of the digital audio ...
