The 12-bit ADC IP core is process node agnostic

A new 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) IP claims to have a unique value proposition: it’s process agnostic. You can generate transistor-level schematics, pick the process for specific needs, ...

What’s Really the Difference Between a 12-Bit and 8-Bit Oscilloscope?

While the simplistic answer to the headline is four bits, it’s actually quite a loaded question. A four-bit increase in the scope’s resolution would produce a theoretical improvement of 16 times in ...

Two Bits, Four Bits, A Twelve-bit Oscilloscope

Until recently, hobby-grade digital oscilloscopes were mostly, at most, 8-bit sampling. However, newer devices offer 12-bit conversion. Does it matter? Depends. [Kiss Analog] shows where a 12-bit ...
