Key Points of High-Speed ADC/DAC Circuit and PCB Design

Overview In the design of high-speed analog signal chains, the layout and routing of the printed circuit board (PCB) need to consider many options, some of which are more important than others, while others depend on the application. The final answers vary, but in all cases, design engineers should consider the overall picture rather than … Read more

56 Common Technical Terms for ADC and DAC

Acquisition Time Acquisition time is the time required for the sample-and-hold circuit to stabilize the sample capacitor voltage within 1 LSB range of the new input value after releasing the hold state.The formula for acquisition time (Tacq) is as follows: Aliasing According to the sampling theorem, input signal frequencies above the Nyquist frequency are referred … Read more

Summary of Using ADC and DAC Chips with FPGA

Summary of Using ADC and DAC Chips with FPGA

1 ADC Chip Debugging Understanding the function of the ADC chip: the Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) converts analog voltage into a digital signal. Connect the voltage line to the ADC’s measurement pin, and the ADC module will detect this voltage and automatically convert it to a number. Reading this number gives us the relationship between the … Read more
