When it comes to getting signals from an analog world into our computers, most of us don’t give much thought to how the hardware that does the job works. But as it turns out, there are a number of ...
The three most popular ADC types generally found in analog front ends are successive-approximation (a), pipelined (b), and delta-sigma (c). These block diagrams represent extremely simplified concepts ...
Three additions to the PulSAR family of successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) offer sampling rates of 800 ksamples/s (AD7674), 100 ksamples/s (AD7678), and 570 ...
[Igor] made a VU meter with LEDs using 8 LEDs and 8 comparators. This is a fast way to get one of 8 bits to indicate an input voltage, but that’s only the equivalent of a 3-bit analog to digital ...
A successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) with a switched-capacitor programmable gain switched preamplifier (SC PGSA), as a basic component of an integrated ultra-low ...
At the International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco, Analog Devices revealed a 20-bit 1Msample/s successive approximation ADC with 0.3ppm INL (integral non‑linearity). Key to this ...
Energy-efficient successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) represent a rapidly evolving field in microelectronics, where substantial progress has been made in ...
After the seven-round fight back in April 2010 between the successive-approximation register (SAR) analog/digital converter (ADC) and the sigma-delta (S?) ADC, Figure 1, (click here to see the full ...
