Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) perform conversions by comparing the input voltage level against the reference input; therefore, the accuracy, stability and noise of the reference directly affect ...
RF instruments and wireless transceivers often feature an input for an external reference clock, such as the ubiquitous 10MHz reference input port found on RF instruments. Many of these same systems ...
A look at the design of traditional ADC front ends. How to simplify the input drive of CTSD ADCs. Simplifying reference and reference-drive designs. In this article, we will use the terms “sensor” or ...
In this article, we highlight one of the most important architectural traits of new continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) precision ADCs: the easy to drive resistive input and reference. The key to ...
