Digging Deeper: The ABCs Of AFE ADCs

The three most popular ADC types generally found in analog front ends are successive-approximation (a), pipelined (b), and delta-sigma (c). These block diagrams represent extremely simplified concepts ...

Let’s Compare SAR & Δ-Σ Converters for a Mux’d DAS, Part 2

In part 1 of this series, we started looking at the differences between the successive approximation register (SAR) ADC and the delta-sigma (Δ-Σ) ADC. We looked at how they work and some advantages ...

How do ADCs work?

If you asked me to nominate one electronic component as the workhorse inside test-and-measurement equipment, I’d nominate the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). ADCs convert voltages that represent ...
