Analog oscillators produce excellent sine waves, but they are temperamental and very hard to design. Also, analog oscillators require extensive redesign every time the oscillation frequency is changed ...

This product is featured in EDN’s Hot 100 products of 2016. See all 100 here. Sometimes, you need a repetitive signal such as a sine wave or clock, but other times, you need an arbitrary signal that ...

This is part one of a set of articles exploring some common myths and misconceptions surrounding digital audio. Time and again I am surprised that even experienced and well-respected audio engineers ...

A few weeks ago, Dan Banquer of R.E. Designs forwarded me a very interesting AES paper entitled "0dBFS+ Levels in Digital Mastering" by Soren H. Nielsen and Thomas Lund of T.C. Electronic A/S.

How do you design a signal source with good performance that can sell for $1,000 or less? Three approaches are evident in many products currently on the market. Integration and disaggregation are two ...

Sometimes, there are too many choices in this world. My benchtop function generator can output a sine, square, or saw wave anywhere from 0.01 Hz up to 60 MHz? Way too many choices. At least, that’s ...

How to quantify the power-supply noise sensitivity of signal-processing chain loads. How to calculate the maximum acceptable power-supply noise. Strategies to meet power-domain sensitivity with ...
