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 ...
[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 ...
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 ...
Linear Technology introduces the LTC2311-16, a 16-bit, 5Msps successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter with a wide rail-to-rail input common mode range. Instrumentation and medical ...
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 ...
Dallas&#8212Texas Instruments says its ADS84xx is the industry's first 16-bit, successive approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) family to include a serial low-voltage differential ...
