In the “Say It with Me” series, we’ll take a commonly used concept out of electronics and explain it the best we can. If there’s something that’s been bugging you, or a certain term or concept that ...

Using a transformer coupled differential inverting amplifier stage can give a very low input referred noise voltage or Noise Figure (NF) with exceptional SFDR/mW. The NF equation needs to include ...

Designing a matching circuit is fairly straightforward for a buffered input ADC because it offers almost constant impedance across all frequencies. As we have already seen, this is not the case with ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In designing an input stage for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), engineers choose a particular amplifier, assign a target gain, and note the ...

When considering any new part in the signal chain, input/output impedance is usually an important spec to “bolt” the necessary signal-chain blocks together properly. For a high-speed converter, this ...
