Is there a discussion group (usenet, LinkedIn, mailing list, etc.) that is dedicated to analog-to-digital converters? Is it possible that there are such interest groups on Facebook or Twitter? Or is comp.dsp my only friend? Jerry

For circuit issues and a bit of signal processing, try sci.electronics.design. Lots of smart people there, but some irritating off-topic stuff. And, of course, for a lot of signal processing and a bit of circuit issues, there's here. But s.e.d will definitely help you if your problems are at all circuit related. -- My liberal friends think I'm a conservative kook. My conservative friends think I'm a liberal kook.

To say that group has off topic posting is like saying the Korea DMZ is not a vacation spot. Many folks there would rather call you names and insult your ancestry than offer one bit of help, not to mention all the egos being massaged. If you are lucky and ignore any posts you feel are not helpful, s.e.d may get you some useful info. Was there anything in particular you wanted to discuss? BTW, I can also recommend comp.arch.embedded. I'm cross posting my reply to that group. Rick

I can think of a few people at SED who might have knowledge and are not on CAE but well, for someone not familiar with the atmosphere there the first contact may be somewhat hmmm... puzzling, let's say :-).

I'll check out the other places and continue to hang out here. The people here seem nice. 8^) I have some things bumping around in my head and I'll probably have some specific ADC questions in due course. Jerry

He made a post saying he was new to the group and asked what people thought of that stock. He got a bunch of responses about his intelligence level, his presumed ethnic origins and parentage along with a few just plain rude remarks. Then someone posted asking "How do you like our welcome wagon?" lol -- Rick
