[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 ...

After the seven-round fight back in April 2010 between the successive-approximation register (SAR) analog/digital converter (ADC) and the sigma-delta (S?) ADC, Figure 1, (click here to see the full ...

A new 18-bit successive-approximation-register (SAR) converter and a 20-bit delta-sigma unit expand the speed and accuracy envelopes for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Made by Analog Devices, ...

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 ...

It’s not surprising that Analog to Digital Converters (ADC’s) now employ several techniques to accomplish higher speeds and resolutions than their simpler counterparts. Enter the Delta-Sigma (Δ∑) ADC ...

The growing availability of digital ICs like microcontrollers, microprocessors, and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) allows developers to use complex digital processing techniques rather than ...

The 12-Bit successive-approximation ADC is a general purpose Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) for low power applications. It is a charge redistribution successive-approximation type converter. ...

In our previous blog about the importance of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), we focused on the various architectures that are in common usage for the Industrial Internet of Things. In particular, ...

The quality of analogue peripherals on microcontrollers has risen constantly. It allows for better integration and more compact switching solutions. Performing measurements with utility meters, ...
