Photonic analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) represents a paradigm shift in signal processing by leveraging the inherent advantages of photonic devices to digitise analog signals. The approach aims to ...
Editor's Note: Low-cost, easy-to-use development systems lower the threshold to entry into embedded systems development for engineers, regardless of their experience level. Among these compact ...
At IEEE ISSCC 2026, imec introduces a 7-bit, 175GS/s wireline ADC implemented in 5nm FinFET technology, combining a record-small footprint (250 x 250µm²) and low conversion energy (2.2 pJ per sample).
