We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "ADC (analogue-digital convertor)",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Speedy samplers connect via PCI Express from
Strategic Test, which we summarised at the time by saying "Advanced features include options for dual-timebase sampling, synchronous digital inputs, asynchronous digital I/O and the possibility to synchronise up to 4336 channels".
The same day,
we featured the news release Application processor boosts mobile multimedia from
Vimicro International Corporation: "Vinno-III-Win has a QVGA touch screen, a 3Mpixel camera, MPEG4/H.263 video, WMA and MP3 playback and recording, Bluetooth and an FM radio".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Toshiba Electronics Europe
concerning its CMOS ASICs with eDRAM
- take a look at CMOS ASIC process creates DVB-H IC
which says: "The Enter E1 SoC IC is a fundamental element of Sidsa's mobile TV reference designs".
Take a look also at the news release from National Semiconductor, Continuous-time architecture is first for ADC,
as well as Voltage monitors preserve critical system data from Maxim Integrated Products,
and Platform accelerates motor control development from Arrow Electronics (UK).
