The document discusses analog to digital converters (ADCs). It begins with definitions of an ADC and provides a general block diagram of an ADC including prefiltering, sample-and-hold, quantization, and encoding components. It then discusses ADC classifications based on frequency and conversion rate. Next, it covers digital output codes, input-output characteristics of a 3-bit ADC, and sources of error in ADCs like resolution, quantization, offset error, and gain error.

General Block Diagram of ADC
• Prefilter : Avoids the aliasing of high frequency signals
back into the baseband of the ADC • Sample-and-hold : Maintains the input analog signal constant during conversion • Quantizer : Finds the subrange that corresponds to the sampled analog input • Encoder : Encoding of the digital bits corresponding to the subrange ADC & DAC 4 ADC’s classification • Frequency 1. fB ~ 0.5fS : Nyquist ADCs 2. fB << 0.5fS : Oversampled ADCs • Conversion rate 1. Slow 2. Medium 3. Fast

• Linear ADCs : the range of the input values that map to each output value has a linear relationship with the output value • Non-linear ADCs : If the probability density function of a signal being digitized is uniform, then the signal-to-noise ratio relative to the quantization noise is the best possible. Because this is often not the case, it is usual to pass the signal through its cumulative distribution function before the quantization. This is good because the regions that are more important get quantized with a better resolution.

• Resolution: the smallest analog change that distinguishable by an ADC. • Quantization : Noise is the ±0.5LSB (least significant bit) uncertainty between the infinite resolution characteristic and the actual characteristic. • Offset Error : the difference between the ideal finite resolution characteristic and actual finite resolution characteristic
ADC & DAC 9
• Gain Error : the difference between the ideal finite resolution characteristic and actual finite resolution characteristic measured at full scale input. This difference is proportional to the analog input voltage.
