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 ...

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 ...

Analog-to-digital converters, or ADCs, are somewhat monolithic devices for most users, a black box that you ask nicely for the value on its input, and receive a number in return. For most readers, ...

Several microcontroller applications utilize a digital-to-analog converter. Though many of these applications require a complex DAC, some may only need a simple single-channel DAC. Because most MCUs ...

Here's why I'm asking: I have a Denon AVR 3803 receiver. I like it quite a bit, except for one glaring (IMHO) omission; in order to use my Sennheiser wireless headphones, I have to run both analog and ...

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 ...

[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 ...
