Billions of smart devices rely on sensor data to gather intelligence. Most smart devices use a “digitize-first” model to digitize all sensor data immediately, sending data to high-power digital ...

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 ...

Oscilloscopes provide critical signal visibility for debugging, testing, and ensuring that electronic systems match developers’ imaginations. Specifying when the oscilloscope captures information ...

This is just a general question. I know, obviously, that there are RS-232 "serial ports" and IEEE 1284/Centronix ports "parallel ports," and that these are "digital" connections. Then you have things ...

When old tech dies, it usually stays dead. No one expects rotary phones or adding machines to come crawling back from oblivion. Floppy diskettes, VHS tapes, cathode-ray tubes—they shall rest in peace.

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 world is flat…screened. According to the International Telecommunication Union, 81% of the developed world is online. And Global Digital reports more than half of the world’s web traffic comes ...

As much as it might be easy to feel like the connection between car and driver is a spiritual one, some hard data needs to be communicated between the two. Gauges do that work by providing information ...

The digital control of switching power supplies is firmly established in everything from EV onboard chargers (OBCs) to power-supply units (PSUs) in AI data centers to renewable-energy systems that ...
