The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

Every modern computer has a microprocessor in it, but not many have a digital signal processor (DSP). Since the CPU is a digital device, it clearly processes digital data, so you might wonder what the ...

A new family of high-speed data converters brings advanced digital signal processing directly onto the ADC, cutting system ...

The digital signal controller (DSC) has emerged to handle many of the engineering challenges that previously required both microcontrollers (MCUs) and digital signal processors (DSPs). A hybrid of ...

Ever wondered how Digital Signal Processing (DSP) works? Digital Signal Processing is everywhere. It's in your TV, your phone, your in-car entertainment system, in hospitals, radar systems and ...

A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor that performs mathematical operations with lightning speed. For instance, a DSP might perform the mathematical operations necessary to ...

If you came of age in the 1990s, you’ll remember the unmistakable auditory handshake of an analog modem negotiating its connection via the plain old telephone system. That cacophony of screeches and ...

In the first installment of this course, we learned that a digital value is a quantity that varies “in steps” and can take on only a finite number of values. In today’s logic systems, only two ...
