dynamic range of an ADC is influenced by many factors, including the resolution (the number of output levels it can quantize a signal to), linearity and accuracy (how well the quantization levels match the true analog signal) and jitter (small timing errors that introduce additional noise)
Quantization Error the noise introduced by quantization in an ideal ADC non-linear and signal-dependent Qe = (LSB/2) Signal to Quantization Noise Ratio SQR = 20log(2^Q) Q = number of quantization bit ADC Types direct-conversion ADC or flash ADC has a bank of comparators sampling the input signal in parallel, each firing for their decoded voltage range. successive-approximation ADC uses a comparator to successively narrow a range that contains the input voltage. ADC Types ramp-compare ADC produces a saw-tooth signal that ramps up or down then quickly returns to zero Wilkinson ADC designed by D. H. Wilkinson in 1950 based on the comparison of an input voltage with that produced by a charging capacitor ADC Types integrating ADC (also dual-slope or multi-slope ADC) applies the unknown input voltage to the input of an integrator and allows the voltage to ramp for a fixed time period (the run-up period). delta-encoded ADC or counter-ramp has an up-down counter that feeds a digital to analog converter (DAC) ADC Types pipeline ADC (also called subranging quantizer) uses two or more steps of subranging. First, a coarse conversion is done. In a second step, the difference to the input signal is determined with a digital to analog converter (DAC). sigma-delta ADC (also known as a delta-sigma ADC) oversamples the desired signal by a large factor and filters the desired signal band ADC Types time-interleaved ADC uses M parallel ADCs where each ADC samples data every Mth cycle of the effective sample clock ADC with intermediate FM stage first uses a voltage-to- frequency converter to convert the desired signal into an oscillating signal with a frequency proportional to the voltage of the desired signal, and then uses a frequency counter to convert that frequency into a digital count proportional to the desired signal voltage Applications Music recording Digital signal processing Scientific instruments Examples ADC ICs: ADC0844 a moderate-speed device, showing a typical conversion speed of 40 microsec.

Converts digital data (binary) to analog signals suitability of a DAC for a particular application is determined by six main parameters: physical size, power consumption, resolution, speed, accuracy, cost most DACs are implemented as integrated circuits Digital To Analog Converter, ADC Applications Audio Video Mechanical DAC Types pulse-width modulator Oversampling DACs or interpolating DACs binary-weighted DAC R-2R ladder DAC Successive-Approximation or Cyclic DAC thermometer-coded DAC Hybrid DACs
