  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

    4-channel stereo multiplexed analog-to-digital converter WM8775SEDS made by Wolfson Microelectronics placed on an X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro sound card AD570 8-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter AD570/AD571 silicon die INTERSIL ICL7107. 3.5 digit (i.e. conversion from analog to a numeric range of 0 to 1999 vs. 3 digit range of 0 to 999, typically used in meters, counters, etc ...

  4. Successive-approximation ADC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive-approximation_ADC

    Counter type ADC: The D to A converter can be easily turned around to provide the inverse function A to D conversion. The principle is to adjust the DAC's input code until the DAC's output comes within ± 1 ⁄ 2 LSB to the analog input which is to be converted to binary digital form. Servo tracking ADC: It is an improved version of a counting ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Flash ADC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_ADC

    A flash ADC (also known as a direct-conversion ADC) is a type of analog-to-digital converter that uses a linear voltage ladder with a comparator at each "rung" of the ladder to compare the input voltage to successive reference voltages.

  7. Resistor ladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor_ladder

    A 1953 paper "Coding by Feedback Methods" [1] describes "decoding networks" that convert numbers (in any base) represented by voltage sources or current sources connected to resistor networks in a "shunt resistor decoding network" (which in base 2 corresponds to the binary-weighted configuration) or in a "ladder resistor decoding network" (which in base 2 corresponds to R–2R configuration ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Integrating ADC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrating_ADC

    An integrating ADC is a type of analog-to-digital converter that converts an unknown input voltage into a digital representation through the use of an integrator.In its basic implementation, the dual-slope converter, the unknown input voltage is applied to the input of the integrator and allowed to ramp for a fixed time period (the run-up period).
