In the last two blogs, we looked at calculating the noise contribution from the driving amplifier to the total ADC noise in terms of the overall SNR (signal to noise ratio). I stepped through the ...

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 ...

All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount ofinput-referred noise. In most cases,less input noise is better. There are some cases, however, where inputnoise can actually be helpful ...

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 ...

Many noise sources can plague high-speed radio-frequency (RF) analog signal chains, making design considerations that much more challenging. Both megahertz and sub-terahertz sampling-rate converters ...

All analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount of input-referred noise. Input-referred noise is not to be confused with quantisation noise, which is only of interest when an ADC is ...

Analog-to-digital converters, or ADCs, are somewhat monolithic devices for most users, a black box that you ask nicely for the value on its input, and receive a number in return. For most readers, ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. In a typical resistance temperature detector(RTD) measurement application, the delta-sigma converter often is configured in a ...

In this article, we highlight one of the most important architectural traits of new continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) precision ADCs: the easy to drive resistive input and reference. The key to ...

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, ...
