Beside the common advantages of a flyback converter, it has inherently parasitic components, which typically produce ringing waveforms with considerably high voltage spikes. This ringing can also influence the EMI emissions adversely. Therefore, it is an important task to adequate suppress and damp the ringing effect....

An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) is a common analog building block and almost always is needed when interfacing digital logic, like that in an FPGA or CPLD, to the “real world” of analog sensors.
This white paper will explain the implementation of both a low frequency (DC to 1K Hz) and higher...
