Have you ever seen the wheels on a car actually spin backward while the car is moving forward? Barring an extreme stunt, I’ll bet you probably saw it in a car commercial. Have you ever wondered why?
Real life happens in continuous time, but a video…
Some circuits benefit when the characteristics of two more op amps are closely matched. So inside a dual or quad op package, how closely do their behaviors match? Hummm?
The most common request on our precision amplifier E2E forum is for matching offset…
As we get ready to "gear up” here on the TI Precision Designs Hub (AKA "The Hub), we thought you might want to first learn a little about the experts who will be sharing their analog design tips with you in the coming weeks and months.
They’ve each…

In talking to system designers using analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), one of the most common questions that I hear is:
“Is your 16-bit ADC also 16-bit accurate?”
The answer to this question…

In my previous blog post , I explained the differences between a SAR ADC’s throughput and response time. Today, let’s see how an interface topology affects the throughput and response time of a SAR…

Designing high-performance multiplexed data-acquisition (DAQ) systems with high throughputs can be difficult. That’s because the entire system, shown in Figure 1, only has up to the maximum time between…

As with any complex analog circuit, designing SAR ADC circuits involves multiple tradeoffs and is thus an iterative process. Thanks to SPICE simulation tools…
