I’ve spent a lot of my career building analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) from whatever bits of stuff I can find lying around. In many cases, someone has decided that an analog signal needs to be ...

See Below: Unique new Comagination dual headlight modulator includes a solid-state relay! Give me some metal and a few tools and I’ll build anything. But when it comes to electricity, I’m dumbstruck.

At the heart of the control scheme of a classic switching regulator is the analog modulator, of which one typical implementation is shown in Figure 21. The analog modulator is essentially a comparator ...

Earlier this year, we featured an unusual radio receiver that took the very traditional superhetrodyne design and implemented it in an unexpected fashion without any inductors, using instead a ...

A delta-sigma converter uses many samples from the modulator to produce a stream of 1-bit codes. The delta-sigma ADC accomplishes this task by using an input-signal quantizer running at a high sample ...

Kyushu University researchers have successfully developed an ultra-high-speed optical modulator that can operate at more than 10 times the speed of current devices. This modulator was made thanks to a ...

In the rapidly advancing field of microelectronics manufacturing, the demand for higher throughput and precision in via drilling has never been greater. This translates into a market demand for more ...
