Abstract In this three-part series, we have been exploring the properties and applications of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which are mainly used for pattern recognition and the classification of objects. Part 3 will explain the hardware ...
Abstract This is part 2 in a series of articles focusing on the properties and applications of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which are mainly used for pattern recognition and the classification of objects. In the first article ...
Abstract The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, and AI is increasingly enabling applications that were previously unattainable or very difficult to implement. This series of articles explains convolutional neural networks ...
This article explains the basis for achieving an optimized board layout, a critical aspect in the design of switch-mode power supplies. A good layout ensures stable functioning of the switching regulator and minimizes radiated interference as well ...
A spectrally pure sine wave oscillator is required for data converter; filter and audio testing. Figure 1 provides a stable frequency output with extremely low distortion. This quartz stabilized 4 kHz oscillator has less than 9 ppm (0.0009%) ...
You can effectively double the sample rate of a DAC by interleaving two DACs into a single unit. Updating each DAC on an alternating basis and switching to the appropriate output double the effective throughput of the overall system. It is ...
Digital potentiometers (digiPOTs) are versatile and can be used in a wide variety of applications, for example, for filtering or generating ac signals. However, sometimes the frequency must be able to be varied and adapted to the desired ...
ADCs with differential inputs are becoming increasingly popular. This popularity isn't surprising, because differential inputs in the ADC offer several advantages: good common-mode noise rejection, a doubling of the available dynamic range ...
Machine vision systems use very short flashes of intense light to produce high speed images used in a wide variety of data processing applications. For instance, fast moving conveyor belts are run through machine vision systems for quick label and ...
Ground Plane There is much more to discuss than can be covered here, but we’ll highlight some of the key features and encourage the reader to pursue the subject in greater detail. A list of references appears at the end of this article. A ...
