Industrial control systems can be categorized in two types: open-loop and closed-loop systems. The open-loop control system is a continuous control system that provides no feedback from its output.

Acromag has released the QMC730, a multifunction I/O module in the VITA 93 QMC small form factor (26×78.25mm) that combines ...

An experienced circuit-design EE once clarified his view of the hierarchy of IC-vendor design support: High-performance, feature-rich ICs were good, application circuits were better, but complete ...

Confused by analog-to-digital converter specifications? Here's a primer to help you decipher them and make the right decisions for your project. Although manufacturers use common terms to describe ...

With a large screen and micro SD slot, this converter can digitize your old analog footage with needing a computer ...

This application note presents the analog output voltage in a system and how to accomplish the output with the use of an MLX90614 IR thermometer. The document also describes the MLX90614 PWM output in ...

In our previous two issues, we discussed troubleshooting digital output modules. Troubleshooting analog modules is a bit more complicated, for two reasons: Analog modules aren't on/off, as digital ...

All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount ofinput-referred noise. In most cases,less input noise is better. There are some cases, however, where inputnoise can actually be helpful ...

So I'm building a new HTPC. Currently mine doesn't have enough HP to do hi-def well enough for my tastes. Anyway, I find myself slot limited as in my mobo has SPDIF output but via a header which ...

Back in the day where the microprocessor was our standard building block, we tended to concentrate on computation and processing of data and not so much on I/O. Simply put there were a lot of things ...

Here's why I'm asking: I have a Denon AVR 3803 receiver. I like it quite a bit, except for one glaring (IMHO) omission; in order to use my Sennheiser wireless headphones, I have to run both analog and ...
