It’s a counterintuitive result that you might need to add noise to an input signal to get the full benefits from oversampling in analog to digital conversion. [Paul Allen] steps us through a simple ...

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 difference between an analog wave and its digital representation. Also known as "quantization noise." See quantization. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction requires ...

Shown is a simplified continuous-time sigma-delta ADC model, comprising a sigma-delta modulator and a decimation filter. The DT-S? input structure typically implements switched capacitors, and CT-S?

A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) lets us express the relationship between signal and noise powers, as well as between the root-mean-square (rms) values of signal and noise voltages: SNR (dB) = ...

Reducing the precision of model weights can make deep neural networks run faster in less GPU memory, while preserving model accuracy. If ever there were a salient example of a counter-intuitive ...

It can be shown that for a PAM-4 link with Gaussian noise achieving 1E-12 BER, the SNR has to be 24.5 dB, but what does this mean? What’s the top consideration that network and data center SoC/systems ...

Electrical noise, like taxes, is always with us. Most of the time noise is small and we can ignore it, but there are some measurement circumstances where noise must be dealt with. What can be done to ...

The noise‐shaping successive approximation register (NS‐SAR) analogue‐to‐digital converter represents an attractive hybrid architecture that merges the inherent energy efficiency and simplicity of ...

The market for audio applications and devices has significantly grown over the last couple of years. Applications such as smart speakers, Bluetooth speakers, smartphones, and voice-controlled ...
