[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 ...

Linear Technology and Maxim Integrated both recently announced high-precision successive approximation register (SAR) architecture analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) for the industrial and ...

The noise‐shaping successive approximation register (NS‐SAR) analogue‐to‐digital converter represents an attractive hybrid architecture that merges the inherent energy efficiency and simplicity of ...

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 ...

Low cost microcontrollers are increasingly expected to provide high performance analog functions for applications that previously used stand-alone ADCs. These applications include power metering, ...
