Fundamentals of Analog‐to‐Digital Data Converters (ADCs)

Integrated sensor systems‐on‐chip require high‐accuracy, low‐latency analog‐to‐digital converters (ADCs), which can interface with wide input range signals and often be shared among multiple sensor channels. This chapter introduces the fundamentals of ADCs and discusses the algorithms and architecture of high‐resolution ADCs, including dual slope, delta‐sigma, successive approximation register (SAR), and incremental ADCs.
