successive approximation

[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 ...

Successive-Approximation Register ADCs Sample To 800 ksamples/s

Three additions to the PulSAR family of successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) offer sampling rates of 800 ksamples/s (AD7674), 100 ksamples/s (AD7678), and 570 ...

“Golden Gloves” A/D Converter Match, Round 2: Successive-approximation register vs. sigma-delta topology–Power Efficiency

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 ...

Homebrew Circuit Explores The Mysteries Of Analog-to-Digital Conversion

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 ...
