When it comes to getting signals from an analog world into our computers, most of us don’t give much thought to how the hardware that does the job works. But as it turns out, there are a number of ...

Time stops for no one, and for no technology. There was a time when you probably preserved family memories by saving them to videotape, but videotape is now completely obsolete. If you’re like a lot ...

A Raspberry Pi 5 has the ability to capture video via attached cameras and access the Internet using wired and wireless protocols, all while driving a pair of personal computer displays. However, if ...

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 ...

The design and optimisation of analog-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-analog converters (DACs) play a pivotal role in modern electronic systems, bridging the gap between the analog real world ...

The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

Bringing old tapes back to life can be frustrating, but the ClearClick converter made it pretty straightforward for me. After plugging in my VCR and hooking up the converter, I was able to record my ...

Time-based analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) represent an innovative shift from traditional voltage-based conversion schemes by utilising time-domain techniques for digitising analog signals.

Riffling through my box of old projects, I came upon a project that I had built in the 80’s — an Automotive Multimeter which was published in the Dutch/British Elektor magazine. It could measure low ...
