  2. Effective number of bits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_number_of_bits

    Effective number of bits (ENOB) is a measure of the real dynamic range of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), digital-to-analog converter (DAC), or associated circuitry. . Although the resolution of a converter may be specified by the number of bits used to represent the analog value, real circuits however are imperfect and introduce additional noise and distor

  3. Successive-approximation ADC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive-approximation_ADC

    If this analog voltage exceeds V in, then the comparator causes the SAR to reset this bit; otherwise, the bit is left as 1. Then the next bit is set to 1 and the same test is done, continuing this binary search until every bit in the SAR has been tested. The resulting code is the digital approximated output of the sampled input voltage.

  4. 12-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-bit_computing

    Many analog to digital converters (ADCs) have a 12-bit resolution. Some PIC microcontrollers use a 12-bit instruction word but handle only 8-bit data. 12 binary digits, or 3 nibbles (a 'tribble'), have 4096 (10000 octal, 1000 hexadecimal) distinct combinations. Hence, a microprocessor with 12-bit memory addresses can directly access 4096 words ...

  6. Double dabble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_dabble

    In the 1960s, the term double dabble was also used for a different mental algorithm, used by programmers to convert a binary number to decimal. It is performed by reading the binary number from left to right, doubling if the next bit is zero, and doubling and adding one if the next bit is one. [ 5 ]

  7. Gray code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_code

    The binary-reflected Gray code list for n bits can be generated recursively from the list for n − 1 bits by reflecting the list (i.e. listing the entries in reverse order), prefixing the entries in the original list with a binary 0, prefixing the entries in the reflected list with a binary 1, and then concatenating the original list with the ...

  8. Q (number format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(number_format)

    For example, the specification Q3.12 describes a signed binary fixed-point number with a w = 16 bits in total, comprising the sign bit, three bits for the integer part, and 12 bits that are the fraction. That is, a 16-bit signed (two's complement) integer, that is implicitly multiplied by the scaling factor 2 −12

  9. Delta-sigma modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-sigma_modulation

    The 4-bit analog-to-digital quantizer uses designations "S" (sign), "1", "2", and "4" for each bit. Each "F" stands for flip-flop and each "G" is a gate, controlled by the 110 kHz oscillator. The principle of improving the resolution of a coarse quantizer by use of feedback, which is the basic principle of delta-sigma conversion, was first ...
