The usual method of bringing analog inputs into a microprocessor is to use an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Here are some tips for selecting such a part and calibrating it to fit your needs. In ...

This analog-to-digital converter (ADC) uses successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve 12-bit resolution. The ADC includes internal sample/hold circuits, a capacitive DAC, ... The ...

Back in the day where the microprocessor was our standard building block, we tended to concentrate on computation and processing of data and not so much on I/O. Simply put there were a lot of things ...

Low-power successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) represent a critical technology in modern electronic systems, seamlessly bridging the analogue and digital realms ...

[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 ...

Confused by analog-to-digital converter specifications? Here's a primer to help you decipher them and make the right decisions for your project. Although manufacturers use common terms to describe ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Today, almost every electronic product contains an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). When designing a new product, one ...

In one corner, the current champion successive-approximation register (SAR) analog/digital converter (ADC); in the opposing corner, a relative newcomer to the A/D conversion scene, the sigma-delta (ΣΔ ...

Innosilicon SAR-ADC IP is a small-size, low power analog to digital converter. The converter is a charge-redistribution successive approximation ADC. It contains 2 input channels and outputs ... The ...

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, ...
