DAC and ADC: The Reciprocal Journey Between Digital and Analog

DAC and ADC: The Reciprocal Journey Between Digital and Analog

“Analyzing the working principles of digital-to-analog converters and analog-to-digital converters—from resistor ladder networks to Delta-Sigma modulation techniques.” Microcontrollers are “consuming” the entire world. Nowadays, even the most basic tasks like blinking an LED are cheaper and simpler with microcontrollers than building oscillating circuits with discrete components or relying on the once ubiquitous 555 timer chip. … Read more

Listening to the Sforzato DSP-05EX: A New Top Choice for Streaming Sources

Listening to the Sforzato DSP-05EX: A New Top Choice for Streaming Sources

Image and text adapted from: u-audioWritten by: Lin Zhi-Yu, Images by: Cai Cheng-RongUpon seeing a two-piece streaming player, one might instinctively think it should be a power-separated design, right? I initially thought so too, but after actually getting my hands on the DSP-05EX, I realized it’s not that simple. It’s not a power-separated design but … Read more

Understanding ADC and DAC

0 Introduction Before discussing Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) and Digital to Analog Converters (DAC), let’s first clarify what analog signals and digital signals are. Analog signals can be understood as physical quantities from the real world, but these quantities are electrical signals. For example, radio signals, etc. The characteristics of analog signals are that … Read more

Degrader-Antibody Conjugates: Risks on the Path from Concept to Reality

Degrader-Antibody Conjugates: Risks on the Path from Concept to Reality

01 DAC‘s Emergence and Advantages Cancer therapeutics need to balance efficacy and safety, even targeted chemotherapy does not always only kill abnormal cancer cells, and non-specific toxicity can lead to a low therapeutic index and side effects. The technology of Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), which achieve therapeutic effects by promoting the degradation of target proteins, is … Read more

Why Use Current Output DACs and How to Use Them Effectively?

Why Use Current Output DACs and How to Use Them Effectively?

With the popularity of electronic products, there is a growing demand for digital systems to connect with the analog world to achieve changes, leading to an increasing need for Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs). While designers are familiar with traditional voltage output DACs, many applications require current output DACs to provide precise, stable, high-resolution currents (tens or … Read more
