Analog-DigitalELCTEC-131
Analog-to-Digital Conversion
Uses a circuit that converts an analog signal at its input to a digital code.
Called an A-to-D converter, A/D converter, or ADC.

Unipolar ADC
Converts positive input voltages.
Generates a 2n-bit binary code for any given input voltage.

Unipolar ADC Code Equation
Va = analog input voltage to be sampled.
FS = Full scale range of input voltage.
n = number of bits in the output code.

Bipolar ADC (Offset Binary Coding)
Used to represent positive and negative input voltages.
Output code an unsigned binary number.
◦ Numbers below 0 V are negative.
◦ Numbers above 0 V are positive.

Bipolar ADC (2’s Complement Coding)
Uses a 2’s complement number system.
Most significant bit (MSB) is the sign bit.
◦ MSB = ‘0’ sign positive.
◦ MSB = ‘1’ sign negative.

Flash ADC
Uses a resistive voltage divider, comparators, and a priority encoder to produce a digital code.
Conversion occurs in one clock cycle (fastest conversion time).

Disadvantage of Flash ADC
Requires 2n resistors and 2n – 1 comparators for an n-bit output.
For any large number of bits, the circuit becomes overly complex.

Successive Approximation ADC
The most widely used ADC.
Finds the digital representation using a “binary search.”
Also called a SAR.
2/15/2010 © 2009 Richard Lokken 18
Binary Search
1. Set the MSB of the digital representation to 1, all other bits to 0.
2/15/2010 © 2009 Richard Lokken 19
Binary Search2. Compare the analog value produced in the
first step to the voltage being converted.
a) If the test voltage is higher than the voltage being converted, reset the MSB and set the second MSB.
b) If the test voltage is less than the voltage being converted, leave the MSB set and set the second MSB.
3. Repeat Steps 2, 2A, and 2B until all the bits have been tested.

SAR - ADC Characteristics
Final answer is always less than the input voltage.
Conversion always requires a fixed number of clock cycles.
Conversion requires n clock cycles where n is the number of bits in the digital representation.

Dual Slope ADC
Based on an integrator, a circuit whose output is the accumulated sum of all previous input values.
Circuit relies on storing charge representing current flow in a capacitor.
2/15/2010 © 2009 Richard Lokken 25
Dual Slope ADC Characteristics
High accuracy.
Relatively slow conversion time.
