We present a 5 MSample/s current steering digital-to-analog converter which has a programmable resolution between 8 bit, 10 bit and 12 bit. A selectable 2-D unary matrix architecture and a resolution ...

When someone notices that two 8-bit DACs can be bought for less than one 16-bit DAC, a classic question is often asked: Why can’t you simply take two 8-bit DACs, assign one to the MSByte, the other to ...

While the simplistic answer to the headline is four bits, it’s actually quite a loaded question. A four-bit increase in the scope’s resolution would produce a theoretical improvement of 16 times in ...

Emerging products in smart sensors and instrumentation are demanding that engineers look for more ways to increase performance while simultaneously squeezing out cost. This article demonstrates how ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A common project requirement is to have an adjustable voltage regulator programmed to deliver a specific dc output.

Despite the tremendous advancement in innovations on digitizing and processing signals over the last century, real world signals are inevitably analog in nature. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) ...

[James Sharman] has built an impressive 8-bit homebrew computer. Based on TTL logic chips, it has a pipelined design which makes it capable of Commodore-level computing, but [James] hasn’t quite ...
