More and more of today’s modern industrial systems are requiring high accuracy. Traditionally, the test and measurement market has been the primary driver of highly accurate signal chain components, ...

The Meridian Director is smaller -- a lot smaller than any bona fide high-end audio digital converter on the market. Ex-movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg has also worked as a high-end audio ...

Compact optical transmission possibilities are of great interest in faster and more energy-efficient data exchange between electronic chips. One component serving this application is the Mach-Zehnder ...

The small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) module is probably the most popular optical transceiver format for both data communications and telecommunications applications. These transceivers run at data ...

ADA4355 from Analog Devices is a current-input digital-output converter works with pulses down to 10ns for time-of-flight measurements using photo diodes. In a 12 x 6mm BGA package, the IC is actually ...

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have developed an electro-optical converter just 29µm long which can converts signals at a rate of about 40Gbit/s The converter consists of two ...

In the home theater space most people would tell you the age of optical audio, known officially as TOSLINK, is over. While at one time they were the standard for surround sound systems, the fiber ...
