Digital to Analogue Converter (R-2R)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/digital-to-analogue-converter-r-2r/
The R-2R Digital-to-Analogue Converter is a type of data converter that transforms a digital binary number into an analog output signal that is proportionate to the value of the digital number using two precision resistors. The binary-weighted digital-to-analog converter, in contrast to the R-2R DAC, produces an analog output voltage that is the weighted sum […]
Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/digital-to-analogue-converter-dac/
Digital-to-Analogue Converter (Binary Weighted) The Digital-to-Analogue Converter (DAC) are opposite of the Analogue-to-Digital Converter. It employs a method by which binary digital signals are transformed into analogue signals. With its output (voltage or current) proportionate to the value of its digital input number, DACs transform binary or non-binary numbers and codes into analogue ones. Conversion […]
Analog To Digital Conversion – Performance Criteria
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/analog-to-digital-conversion-performance-criteria/
Overview In this series of articles, we considered PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) as a method of digital representation of an analog signal. In the PCM method, the samples of the continuous wave are allowed to take only certain discrete values. These amplitudes are then assigned a code, where each code uniquely represents the magnitude of […]
Analog To Digital Conversion – Practical Considerations
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/analog-to-digital-conversion-practical-considerations/
In the previous articles about A/D conversion, we considered the concepts of ‘sampling’, ‘quantization’, and ‘binary encoding’ as building blocks of a PCM system. Now, we review those concepts from a practical perspective. To perform the analog-to-digital conversion, the first stage is ‘sampling’. There are different regular sampling methods: Ideal Sampling: In ideal Sampling, the […]
Binary Numbers
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/binary-numbers/
Binary Numbers The binary numbers are expressed in the base-2 number system which has only two (2) distinct number values i.e. 0 and 1. Just like, most common, decimal numbers are expressed in a base-10 number system having ten (10) distinct numbers from 0 to 9. These number systems are designed to express information and […]
Headphone Amplifier For DAC Converter
https://www.electronics-lab.com/headphone-amplifier-for-dac-converter/
This is a headphone amplifier project for audio digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with differential voltage outputs. This circuit converts the differential voltage output of the DAC to a single-ended, ground-referenced signal and provides the additional current necessary for low-impedance headphones. Project is built using OPA1688 low distortion, high-drive Sound Plus audio amplifier. The circuit tested with […]
Four IQaudio add-ons to join the Raspberry Pi product line
https://www.electronics-lab.com/four-iqaudio-add-ons-to-join-the-raspberry-pi-product-line/
A couple of days back, Raspberry Pi announced the four most popular IQAudio products to join the Raspberry Pi product line which, as the name suggests, are Audio add-ons. IQAudio previously sold expansion boards knowing the capabilities of Raspberry Pi for hi-fi audio. This is the relaunching of the DAC+, DAC Pro, DigiAMP+, and Codec Zero that will […]
