[Igor] made a VU meter with LEDs using 8 LEDs and 8 comparators. This is a fast way to get one of 8 bits to indicate an input voltage, but that’s only the equivalent of a 3-bit analog to digital ...

When it comes to getting signals from an analog world into our computers, most of us don’t give much thought to how the hardware that does the job works. But as it turns out, there are a number of ...

Successive-approximation register analog-to-digital converters (SAR-ADC) are frequently the architecture of choice for medium-resolution applications. SAR products on the market can operate at maximum ...

Low cost microcontrollers are increasingly expected to provide high performance analog functions for applications that previously used stand-alone ADCs. These applications include power metering, ...
