All analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount of input-referred noise. Input-referred noise is not to be confused with quantisation noise, which is only of interest when an ADC is ...
Whether your application is focused on wireless communications or instrumentation, the performance bottleneck is often the dynamic range of the a/d converter. Dynamic range is often a key parameter ...
It can be shown that for a PAM-4 link with Gaussian noise achieving 1E-12 BER, the SNR has to be 24.5 dB, but what does this mean? What’s the top consideration that network and data center SoC/systems ...
