[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 ...

Energy-efficient successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) represent a rapidly evolving field in microelectronics, where substantial progress has been made in ...

Linear Technology Corp. recently introduced the LTC2348-18, an 18-bit, 8-channel simultaneous sampling successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to digital converter (ADC). While converting eight ...

Our guest author is Matthew Hann, SAR ADC Product Line Manager, Texas Instruments. One of the most challenging aspects in optimizing the performance of a successive-approximation-register ...

Successive-approximation register analog-to-digital converters (SAR-ADC) are frequently the architecture of choice for medium-resolution applications. SAR products on the market can operate at maximum ...
