Our series on quantization noise begins with a clarification of the framework the author used to determine the scope of his investigation into quantization noise.

President Biden has signed an executive order to compel the federal government to conduct a 100-day review into semiconductor supply chains.

In this article, we’ll examine a bridge measurement system to show why an in-amp needs to have a high common-mode rejection to successfully extract a small differential signal.

ADAS and AVAS are known to add a number of speakers to an automotive audio system. Class-D amplifiers, however, may be a useful solution for cutting size, costs, heat, and power consumption.

Polarimetric imaging could be a boon to machine vision. Now, Stanford researchers have developed a new type of light sensor inspired by an unlikely source.

While lithium-ion batteries bear some risks of combustion in consumer devices, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency hopes to experiment with the merits of all solid-state lithium-ion batteries in space.

Michael Knight, president of TSG, offers a look into how the semiconductor shortage for automotive production is a multifaceted issue years in the making.

At just the width of a human hair, a new type of cable from MIT and Raytheon is said to be ten times faster than USB.

Combining volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors and an ML chip, the "DiaNose" can pinpoint cancer, kidney failure, and now COVID-19.

In the final part of this series on modeling ADCs, we discuss one more model and also briefly cover DAC models.

While DDR5 is often hailed for its increased memory, processing reliability, and performance, an often-overlooked feature of this DRAM is its security capabilities—especially in automotive applications.

This article looks at the different connectivity options for deploying IoT networks, exploring the pros and cons of each.

Wi-SUN FAN may be a worthwhile alternative to LoRaWAN and NB-IoT. Now, ROHM has developed a Wi-SUN FAN module with the promise of increased reliability and security in LPWA mesh networks.

embedded world 2021, now in its 19th year, kicked off today and will operate as a digital-only event for the first time ever.

Renesas-Intersil continues its legacy of space-ready integrated circuitry with the successful landing of Perseverance on Mars.

In this article, we discuss another methodology of how to model ADCs in system simulations, this time by using the effective number of bits and also adjusting our ADC by introducing a 5th order polynomial to the ideal quantizer input.

John von Neumann has revolutionized the world of computing through his work on the Manhattan Project, the von Neumann (Princeton) Architecture, and the first IAS computer.

Learn about the concept of ENOB (effective number of bits) and how it can be used in modeling data converters in system simulations.

While haptics are fairly basic in design from an engineering standpoint, these systems are likely to play an important role in AR/VR, military technology, and the "tactile internet."

This article launches a series exploring the question of how to model data converters for system simulations.

The MEDLI2 sensor package on the Perseverance rover is not only gathering data for future missions; it's also demonstrating how commercial-off-the-shelf parts can be used in space.

This month alone, multiple research institutions have flooded the press with news of a singular goal: to create room-temperature superconductors.

In this article, we'll discuss the requirements for an analog IQ modulator and demodulator, and then the requirements for DACs and ADCs used at baseband (for an analog IQ approach) and for DACs and ADCs used at RF (for a...

Forget Silicon Valley—here’s how Arizona could become the "Silicon Desert" with more semiconductor titans considering the move.
