Successive-approximation register analog-to-digital converters (SAR-ADC) are frequently the architecture of choice for medium-resolution applications. SAR products on the market can operate at maximum ...

[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 ...

As much as it’s an analog world, it is often being chopped up into digital pieces. As communications go digital and the computing power increases, signals are being transformed into digital words that ...

Energy-efficient successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) represent a rapidly evolving field in microelectronics, where substantial progress has been made in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC2378-20 , a 20-bit 1Msps no latency successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with ...

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 ...

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, ...
