Perhaps the most important consideration of an ADC is its resolution. Resolution is the number of binary bits output by...

One of the more advanced ADC technologies is the so-called delta-sigma, or ΔΣ (using the proper Greek letter...

So far, we’ve only been able to escape the sheer volume of components in the flash converter by using a DAC as part...

A third variation on the counter-DAC-based converter theme is, in my estimation, the most elegant. Instead of a regular...

One method of addressing the digital ramp ADC’s shortcomings is the so-called successive-approximation ADC. The only...

Also known as the stairstep-ramp, or simply counter A/D converter, this is also fairly easy to understand but...

Also called the parallel A/D converter, this circuit is the simplest to understand. It is formed of a series of...

The R/2R DAC circuit is an alternative to the binary-weighted-input (R/2nR) DAC which uses fewer unique resistor...

What Is a R/2nR DAC Circuit? The R/2nR DAC circuit, otherwise known as the binary-weighted-input DAC, is a variation on...

Connecting digital circuitry to sensor devices is simple if the sensor devices are inherently digital themselves....
