Main Types of Analog-to-Digital Converters
Have you ever wondered what happens inside your audio equipment? How does the audio data on a CD, MP3, or WAV file go from digital to sound? Much of this “magic” is thanks to the digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The job of a DAC is to convert digital data into an analog audio signal. This analog […]
What is IGBT?
The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is a semiconductor switching device that combines the advantages of traditional bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and field effect transistors (MOSFET). The IGBT transistor combines the high input impedance and fast switching speed of the MOSFET with the low saturation voltage of the bipolar transistor to create a new type […]
What is an Inductor?
An inductor is a passive electrical component consisting of a coil of wire designed to exploit the relationship between current and electricity generated by the passage of current through the coil. An inductor is a passive component used in most power electronic circuits to store energy in the form of magnetic energy when power is […]
what is avalanche photodiode？
A photodiode is a semiconductor device that converts light signals into electrical signals, enabling highly sensitive light detection in optical communications, sensing, and quantum applications. It is widely used in modern electronic technology. An avalanche photodiode is a semiconductor-based photodetector (photodiode) with a relatively high reverse voltage (typically tens or even hundreds of volts), sometimes […]
Connector types
What is a connector? Connectors enable contact between wires, cables, printed circuit boards, and electronic components. They usually consist of two main parts: a plug (or plug assembly) and a socket (or socket assembly). The plug is inserted into the socket to complete the electrical connection while ensuring the transmission of signals and power. The […]
What is a SOC chip?
Extremely complex technology in electronics must fit into the smallest possible footprint and use the least amount of power. To create devices that are both fast and small, engineers have eliminated the need for multiple integrated circuits by combining all the necessary components into a single package, called a system-on-chip (SoC). What is a System […]
Analog-to-Digital Converter（Sigma-Delta ADC）
Sigma-Delta ADC Introduction: Sigma-Delta ADC, known as Delta-Sigma ADC, hold a unique position in the world of analog-to-digital converters. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is an electronic device used to convert a continuous analog signal into a discrete digital signal. This process is essential to modern electronics because it enables computers and digital systems to process, analyze, […]
Types of operational amplifiers
1.Classification according to the manufacturing process used Operational amplifiers can be divided into two types according to the manufacturing process used: CMOS and bipolar operational amplifiers. Since CMOS operational amplifiers are voltage-controlled devices, they operate with a low DC input bias current (I I), so their power consumption is low. However, due to the low withstand […]
What is an op-amp?
An operational amplifier (op-amp) is an integrated circuit (IC) that amplifies the difference in voltage between two inputs. It is so named because it was developed for perform arithmetic operations. Amplifiers, buffers, comparators, filters, etc. can be implemented with simple external circuits. An op-amp has five terminals: positive power supply, negative power supply (GND), noninverting […]
what is analog integrated circuit
Analog Integrated Circuits (ICs) are electronic circuits that process analog signals. They are an essential component of most electronic devices and can process signals such as audio, temperature, light, and voltage. Unlike digital ICs, which process on/off signals, analog ICs can process a signal's entire range of values. Analog Integrated Circuits (AICs) are electronic components […]
