- The talk will explain historic developments of integrating ADCs, from single-slope, through multi-slope to charge balance multi-slope types.
- Performance limitations of these ADCs will be explained, especially those relevant for metrological quality devices.
- Some arrangements of multi-slope integrating ADCs do have an overlap with sigma-delta ADCs.
- An outlook on ADC concepts other...
When a digitizer or an Analogue to Digital converter (ADC) is used to measure voltage, a fundamental contribution to the quality and stability of the measurement is the voltage reference used for that measurement.
Semiconductor manufacturers specify ADCs as a “stand alone” component, but a high-resolution digitizer combines, or is limited by, the performance of the ADC and the voltage...
The True8DIGIT project addresses the development of a digitiser based on state-of-the-art analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs), operating from direct current (DC) to 100 kHz, meeting the demands for linearity, noise, and overall accuracy of high-level measurement applications that cannot be met using currently available digitisers.
True8DIGIT project is framed as precursor to a more...
