Today's analog system designers face many design challenges. Not only do designers need to select the proper integrated-circuit components, but they also must accurately predict the interactions of ...

In the last two blogs, we looked at calculating the noise contribution from the driving amplifier to the total ADC noise in terms of the overall SNR (signal to noise ratio). I stepped through the ...

Few IC-schematic symbols are simpler than the one that depicts an analog switch (Figure 1a). A basic switch comprises just an input, an output, a control pin, and a couple of power-supply pins. Yet, ...

Many noise sources can plague high-speed radio-frequency (RF) analog signal chains, making design considerations that much more challenging. Both megahertz and sub-terahertz sampling-rate converters ...

Q: You had convinced me to wait for the new RX-A3060 until I discovered that it does not have 7.1 analog inputs for my Oppo BDP-105. Though I can connect its L/R ...
