[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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

[Editor's note: Another ADI look into the world of electronics mystery from the series “Rarely Asked Questions: Strange but True Stories From the Call Logs of Analog Devices” guest authored by Maithil ...

Self crowned as the industry's highest-performance 16-bit successive approximation a/d converter, the AD7677 Pul SAR is also touted as being twice as fast, twice as precise, and four times more power ...

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 ...

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 ...

Today’s sensor applications show a rising demand on miniaturized autonomous sensors nodes with extreme requirements on power dissipation. One core functionality of these sensor nodes is the conversion ...
