A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) plot is generated by collecting a large number of conversion samples from the output of the A/D converter in a periodic fashion that is receiving an AC input signal.
Over the past decades, the high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) performance metric that mattered to most has changed, albeit slowly. Primarily as a result of signal acquisition systems’ ever ...
The most important thing to remember about both DACs and ADCs is that either the input or output is digital, and therefore the signal is quantized. That is, an N-bit word represents one of 2N possible ...
