The voltage reference sets the limit to the input analog signal that the ADC can resolve. Equation 1 is the ideal transfer function of an ADC where the output code—in decimal form—is computed by the ...

Many electronic designs contain an ADC, or more than one, to read various signals and voltages. Often, these ADCs are included as part of the microcontroller (MCU) being used. This means, once you ...

Confused by analog-to-digital converter specifications? Here's a primer to help you decipher them and make the right decisions for your project. Although manufacturers use common terms to describe ...

They are usually used to sense temperature, flow, fill level, pressure, and other physical quantities, which are then converted to high resolution digital information and forwarded for further ...

Fig 1. By splitting the input signal into positive and negative portions and digitizing separately, this circuit allows a microcontroller’s unipolar ADC to handle bipolar signals and double its input ...

Single –ended/ Pseudo Differential ADCs are common for lower resolution/performance converters as they provide a simple, low power signal chain with only one signal path. However it does not offer the ...
