Instrumentation, function generators, inertial navigation systems, ATE (automatic test equipment), medical apparatus, and other precision applications now require 18-bit converters. The resolutions of ...

Most precision analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) do not have a high-impedance input. The input signal connects directly to a sampling capacitor through a switch. This load presents some interesting ...

Simulating a circuit design before committing it to silicon is always the wise thing to do, since problems can be caught before they become costly mistakes. Analog designers’ familiarity with Spice 1 ...

In this article, we highlight one of the most important architectural traits of new continuous-time sigma-delta (CTSD) precision ADCs: the easy to drive resistive input and reference. The key to ...
