[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 ...

Low-power successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) represent a critical technology in modern electronic systems, seamlessly bridging the analogue and digital realms ...

The noise‐shaping successive approximation register (NS‐SAR) analogue‐to‐digital converter represents an attractive hybrid architecture that merges the inherent energy efficiency and simplicity of ...

Editor's note: We will publish this article in four sequential parts leading up to our “Ask the experts” session on Precision Voltage References on May 21. Alan Walsh will be one of our experts. The ...

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 ...

The current technology trend for Analog-to- Digital Converters (ADCs) is particularly keen on power reduction, together with high-speed performance. The goal of the paper is to demonstrate that both ...

In one corner, the current champion successive-approximation register (SAR) analog/digital converter (ADC); in the opposing corner, a relative newcomer to the A/D conversion scene, the sigma-delta (ΣΔ ...

Successive Approximation Beats Postponed Perfection All Day Long. It’s almost impossible these days to avoid articles or conversations about disruptive innovation. And these discussions almost always ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Today, almost every electronic product contains an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). When designing a new product, one ...
