ANALOG DIGITAL CONVERTER [7 records]

Record 1 2024-10-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computer Programs and Programming
CONT

Once the analog to digital converter has converted the sound to digital format, its work is over. It can’t understand what the words mean, and the speech recognition algorithm has to be applied to the sound to convert it into text.

CONT

Une carte DAQ, ou une carte d'acquisition de données, est utilisé pour transférer des données dans un ordinateur. Cette méthode permet un transfert transparent des données d'entrée et de sortie soit par des signaux et des canaux numériques ou analogiques. Cartes d'acquisition de données fonctionnent en utilisant le matériel d'acquisition de données et de logiciels.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

Oscilloscopes... come in analog and digital types... a digital oscilloscope samples the waveform and uses an analog-to-digital converter(or ADC) to convert the voltage being measured into digital information. It then uses this digital information to reconstruct the waveform on the screen.

OBS

digital recording oscilloscope: term officially approved by the International Space Station Terminology Approval Group (ISSTAG).

Key term(s)
  • digital-recording oscilloscope

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

Le groupe [...] travaille présentement à la mise au point d'un système de mesure d'impulsions hyperfréquence faisant appel à du matériel d'essai comme un générateur à fonctions standards, un oscilloscope numérique et un analyseur de transition hyperfréquences.

OBS

oscilloscope numérique : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).

Record 4 2008-02-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrical Engineering
CONT

Various methods have been proposed to implement a digital-to-analog converter(DAC). One such method is to create a pulse train whose average value is equal to the magnitude of the digital input and then average the pulse train by passing it through a low-pass filter. Conventionally, pulse wave modulators(PWM) are used to create the pulse train from a digital input signal. However, the quality of the analog signal that results from the filtered pulse train may contain considerable noise unless an expensive low-pass filter is constructed.

Subject field(s)
  • Semiconductors (Electronics)
  • Computer Memories
  • Photography
DEF

An active pixel sensor for imaging derived from CCD [charge coupled device] pixel technology and CMOS [complementary metal oxide semiconductor] transistor technology.

OBS

CMD are analog sensors, the digitizing happens when the electrons are passed through the A to D converter. The A to D converter converts the analog signal to a digital file or signal. Like the CCD, the CMD is used as an image capture device, CMD's are noisier imaging devices.

DEF

[...] système actif de capteur dérivé de la technologie CCD [charge coupled device ou dispositif à transfert de charge] et CMOS [complementary metal oxide semiconductor] utilisant un convertisseur A/N [analogique/numérique], qui convertit la charge électrique captée en signal numérisé.

OBS

Le CMD est plus bruyant que le CCD lorsqu'il est utilisé pour capturer des images.

OBS

CMD est l'abréviation anglaise de «charge modulated device».

CONT

FISO technology uses a patented technique of performing analog sampling using standard semiconductor technology. Samples are stored as electric charge in each of the 10, 000 on-chip cells.... Once the analog sampling has finished, a slow speed, very accurate 9-bit A/D converter is used to convert the stored analog values into digital code.
