High performance digitizer and DC metrology meeting

Multi slope A/D converters. Why the 50 years old technology is still (the only one?) relevant for the highest performance applications? (FEI STU)

30m

Auditorium BC150 (FEI STU, Bratislava)

Speaker

Jaromir Sukuba (FEI STU)

Description

• 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 than integrating ones will close the talk.
