2. Analog-to-digital converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog-to-digital_converter

   Analog-to-digital converter. In electronics, an analog-to-digital converter ( ADC, A/D, or A-to-D) is a system that converts an analog signal, such as a sound picked up by a microphone or light entering a digital camera, into a digital signal.

3. Digital-to-analog converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital-to-analog_converter

   In electronics, a digital-to-analog converter ( DAC, D/A, D2A, or D-to-A) is a system that converts a digital signal into an analog signal. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) performs the reverse function. There are several DAC architectures; the suitability of a DAC for a particular application is determined by figures of merit including ...

4. Integrating ADC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrating_ADC

   Integrating ADC. An integrating ADC is a type of analog-to-digital converter that converts an unknown input voltage into a digital representation through the use of an integrator. In its basic implementation, the dual-slope converter, the unknown input voltage is applied to the input of the integrator and allowed to ramp for a fixed time period ...

5. Flash ADC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_ADC

   Flash ADC. A flash ADC (also known as a direct-conversion ADC) is a type of analog-to-digital converter that uses a linear voltage ladder with a comparator at each "rung" of the ladder to compare the input voltage to successive reference voltages. Often these reference ladders are constructed of many resistors; however, modern implementations ...

6. Successive-approximation ADC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive-approximation_ADC

   A DAC to convert the ith approximation xi to a voltage. A comparator to perform the function s(xi − x) by comparing the DAC's voltage with the input voltage. A register to store the output of the comparator and apply xi−1 − s(xi−1 − x)/2i. Operation of successive-approximation ADC as input voltage falls from 5 to 0 V. Iterations on ...

7. Resistor ladder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor_ladder

   Resistor ladder. A resistor ladder is an electrical circuit made from repeating units of resistors, in specific configurations. An R–2R ladder configuration is a simple and inexpensive way to perform digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), using repetitive arrangements of precise resistor networks in a ladder -like configuration.
