[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 ...

The easy-to-use successive-approximation analog-to-digital converters (SAR-ADCs) may not be as easy as you think. In my last article for EDN, “Simulating the front end of your ADC,” we talked about ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

[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 ...

This analog-to-digital converter (ADC) uses successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve 12-bit resolution. The ADC includes intern ...

Successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are commonly used in applications which require medium to high resolution. The major benefits of SAR ADCs are high ...

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 ...

The ATLAS Experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider required the design of a custom ADC. The ADC developed for this application is a dual-channel 12-bit ADC test chip, in which each channel ...

Electronic Design is dedicated to keeping design engineers informed of the latest advancements in the engineering community. As such, we thought you would have interest in these resources from Mentor ...

Successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters form a critical link between the analogue and digital realms in modern electronics. Operating through a binary search algorithm, ...
