A great many industrial sensors — flow, level, temperature, pressure, pH, and the list goes on — produce a 4-20 mA output, but today's factories increasingly need digital inputs via standard field ...

ISODA products achieve the host RS-485/232 interface signals isolation to standard analog signal, to control the remote device. ISODA products can be applied to RS-232/RS-485 bus industrial automation ...

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 ...

(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) As the Bode plot is the foundation for understanding the operational amplifier (op amp) ...

The design and optimisation of analog-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-analog converters (DACs) play a pivotal role in modern electronic systems, bridging the gap between the analog real world ...

The IC-DR-23 analog-signal converter delivers a 0- to 10-Vdc to ±200-mA output and is able to convert any analog or PWM signal to suit a specific application. With a DIN-rail housing, screw terminal ...

In previous installments of the AudioFile, we’ve talked about basic PCM audio, which encodes audio into a series of numbers that a computer can play or manipulate. We’ve also discussed the process of ...
