Many electronic designs contain an ADC, or more than one, to read various signals and voltages. Often, these ADCs are included as part of the microcontroller (MCU) being used. This means, once you ...

An EDN Design Idea (DI) presented a discussion of how to increase the resolution of an ADC by adding a non-deterministic, zero-mean, Gaussian noise dither waveform to a signal to be converted; then, ...

What’s the cost of an underused hardware resource? If you spec your microcontroller to have a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) but only require 8 bits, you’ve paid for extra performance that ...

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 ...

Powering any data converter, such as an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or digital-to-analog converter (DAC), requires a clean, low-noise power supply. Traditionally, engineers used low-dropout (LDO ...

The ADC supports single and continuous conversion modes and includes an extended sampling-time option, providing developers with the flexibility to optimize performance and power consumption based on ...

All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount ofinput-referred noise. In most cases,less input noise is better. There are some cases, however, where inputnoise can actually be helpful ...
