A signal chain consists of several components, such as amplifiers, data converters, interface, clocks and timing. The purpose of the signal chain is to gather and process data or apply system controls ...

Back in the day where the microprocessor was our standard building block, we tended to concentrate on computation and processing of data and not so much on I/O. Simply put there were a lot of things ...

In previous installments of the AudioFile, we've talked about basic PCM audio, which encodes audio into a series of numbers that a computer can play or manipulate. We've also discussed the process of ...

A digital signal processor is an IC or IP core designed to process signals digitally with efficiency. Analog signals are converted to digital via an analog-to-digital converter before being processed ...

Confused by analog-to-digital converter specifications? Here's a primer to help you decipher them and make the right decisions for your project. Although manufacturers use common terms to describe ...

The design and optimisation of analog-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-analog converters (DACs) play a pivotal role in modern electronic systems, bridging the gap between the analog real world ...

Unless I am mistaken, only analog signals can be regulated through the Windows Volume Control options. You're mistaken. The Windows volume control (for most cards, at least) happens in the digital ...

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 ...

Multimedia applications such as Digital TVs (DTVs), Over the Top (OTT) devices, and Set-Top Boxes (STBs) rely on digital and analog interfaces to transmit & receive audio and video content. The ...
