Differences between Interrupts and sampling for hardware button?

I have a hardware button I connected to an interrupt, but my problem is it bounces a bit, making the button press unreliable. I think a good deal of these issues would be solved by sampling in the ...

Oscilloscope: How are Bandwidth specification and Sampling Rate related?

I had thought that a (digital) Oscilloscope with higher Sampling Rate, would automatically have higher Bandwidth. That seems intuitive because of Nyquist Sampling Theorem. But I've read in several ...

Why is the Nyquist data rate lower than the Shannon data rate?

In the book Computer Networks, the author talks about the maximum data rate of a channel. He presents the Nyquist formula : C = 2H log\$_2\$ V (bits/sec) And gives an example for a telephone line : ...

Exactly what is the role of the zero-order hold in a hybrid analog/digital sampled-data system?

I'll admit, I am asking this question rhetorically. I am curious what answers will come back out of this. If you choose to answer this, make sure you understand the Shannon-Nyquist sampling theorem ...

Does SNR improve at higher sampling rates for a low pass filtered signal?

Let's say we want to extract 1Hz signal from a noisy signal by using a LPF. And assume we have sampled it with 100Hz sampling rate. If we would have sampled it with 1kHz sampling rate and use the ...

What does "two signals aliasing to each other" mean?

So I just read something that two signals are aliasing to each other. I know what a single signal is being aliased - that is when sampling rate is not higher than or equal to the Nyquist rate. But I ...

Why is the STM32 reference manual stating the wrong sample frequency for I2S?

This could be a misunderstanding but everything I have gathered and seen it looks like there's a disconnection on what the reference manual says. On Pg. 2212, in the STM32H753ZI it states: "The ...
