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 ...

Resolution is key in maximizing the performance of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). But here comes the rub: resolution of an ADC comes with a specific voltage reference. So, what if design ...

Digital-to-analogue converters (DACs) form the backbone of numerous modern electronic systems, transforming discrete digital signals into continuous analog outputs for applications ranging from ...

Connect your stereo amplifier to your PC's sound board and use the free, open-source Audacity audio-conversion software to create MP3s, WMAs, or other digital copies of your analog tunes. Dennis ...

The previous blog discussed how makers can select an A/D converter by understanding the application and how manufacturers optimize a part for that role. Now, what happens when an A/D fires up—how ...

[Daniel Garcia] sent us a quick tutorial he put together demonstrating how to use an ATmega168 to perform analog to digital conversions. This timely tutorial would make for a nice complimentary ...

The MindWave DAC is a software-based digital-to-analog converter that delivers high-precision analog signals at low frequencies within a scalable and cost-effective design. Our DAC is designed to ...

Can a $249 digital-to-analog converter/headphone amplifier deliver state-of-the-art sound? The Audiophiliac listens to the AudioQuest DragonFly to find out. Steve Guttenberg Former contributor ...

A great many industrial sensors — flow, level, temperature, pressure, pH, and the list goes on — produce a 4-20 mA output, but today's factories increasingly need digital inputs via standard field ...
