Squeeze 10-Bit Performance From An 8-Bit ADC, Part 2: Triangular Dithering

Part 1 of this column (ED Online 18899) showed how designers can use additive dither and oversampling to increase the resolution of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). In this edition, we will ...

Squeeze 10-Bit Performance From An 8-Bit ADC, Part 3: Self-Dithering ADCs

If the input signal moves at least the analog-to-digital converter’s (ADC’s) resolution (Δ) over the time it takes to take multiple samples, the average result of these multiple signals will increase ...

Analog-to-Digital Converters

The usual method of bringing analog inputs into a microprocessor is to use an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Here are some tips for selecting such a part and calibrating it to fit your needs. In ...
