Understand the design implications of JESD204A for high-speed ADCs and DACs
Tutorial: the new JEDEC interface standard for data converters, Part 1 of 3
Understand the design implications of JESD204A for high-speed analog/digital and digital/analog converters
New application areas are driving need for converters with higher dynamic range
Single-tone testing may not reveal data converter performance relevant to these broad bandwidth designs
Sampling and aliasing: A story
This feature takes readers on a tour of the nature of analog and digital signals, starting with an introduction to the concepts of analog-to-digital conversion, interpolation, extrapolation, estimation, and feedback of digital data and finishing with a discussion of aliasing: its origin and effect.
