Wireless Communications Ideal GSM Basestation: The intention is to bring the converter as near as possible to the RF antenna of the system. Antenna 890->915 MHz LNA LNA: Low Noise Amplifier : RF Filter Challenge: In GSM systems an analog input bandwidth of more than 900MHz would be required!

The converters should operate at 125 Mega sample per second (MSPS). Although the resolution is not high, the power consumption is the main challenge in the design procedure. The dynamic range of the converters must be high enough to overcome the noise, interference, and attenuation through the cable.

Data Storage Hard Disk: The data stored on a compact disk (CD) and computer hard disk are binary signals. However, the signal generated by the read head is analog and corrupted with noise and distortion. As a result, the disk drive read channels requires lots of filtering and post processing. Analog signal from read head AGC Automatic Gain Control LPF Switched- Cap Filter Clock Generator Page: 1-19 Digital Imaging Camera Recorder: Today s imaging systems make use of extensive digital post processing. Images can be captured by charge-coupled devices (CCDs) or by advanced CMOS image sensors. Image voltage or current signal is digitized by an converter.

Video Systems High-Definition Television (HDTV) Set-top Box: A digital set top box is used to deliver interactive video services to a TV set via cable, satellite, or network. The video signal (270MBPS) is compressed into 2-15 MBPS (MPEG2) bit stream and modulated to form the RF signal. The sampling speed of DAC must be 74.25 MHz, and with a resolution of 8 to 10 bits.

Therefore, an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) is needed. The main idea is to use to create a coded binary signal which contains the information of test signal. The desired signal can be obtained by filtering the bit stream of the coded signal. TMS320 C6x Interface 1-bit DAC Lowpass Filter Output Signal Page: 1-22
Motor Control Cost-Effective Drivers : AC induction motors are widely used because of its low cost, high reliability and high efficiency. Flexibility of makes it possible to accomplish complex nonlinear control [8]. Feedback parameters like current, voltage, and position can be sensed and converted to digital signals by the use of converters. After processing the analog command signals can be obtained by D/A converters. - Estimate the feedback Parameters - Algorithm of control 123 ADC DAC Power Amplifier Page: 1-23 Digital Control Display & Control Data Transmission Analog Feedback Signal Conditioning ADC Unit DAC Analog Amplifier Signal Conditioning Position Control Speed Control Page: 1-24
