Types of ADCs

Flash converters are the fastest ADCs, achieving speeds near 1 GS/s and resolutions of 10 bits and below. Successive-approximation register (SAR) ADCs are the most common ADCs, having resolutions of 8 to 16 bits and speeds of 1 MS/s and below. They are generally low in cost, and they typically have very good integral linearity. To achieve higher sample rates than SAR ADCs at resolutions of 10 to 16 bits is for multistage ADCs (sometimes called subranging or multipass ADCs) use the iterative approach of SAR ADCs but reduce the number of iterations in a conversion. Instead of using just a comparator, the multistage ADC uses low-resolution flash converters (4 to 8 bits) as building blocks. Integrating converters (Fig.20.1) are used for low-speed, high-resolution applications such as voltmeters. They are conceptually simple, consisting of an integrating amplifier, a comparator, a digital counter, and a very stable capacitor for accumulating charge. The most common integrating ADC in use is the dual-slope ADC.



Figure 20.1. Integrating converter

A dual-slope integrating converter uses a comparator to determine when the capacitor has fully discharged and relies on the capacitor for linearity.

An elaboration of the dual-slope ADC is the multislope integrating ADC. It achieves even higher resolution than the dual-slope ADC by discharging the capacitor at several progressively slower rates. At each rate, the counter is able to resolve finer increments of accumulated charge. An important distinction between integrating converters and other ADCs is the way they sample the input voltage. Integrating converters do not sample the voltage itself; they average the voltage over the integration period and then they sample the average that is accumulated on the capacitor. This tends to reject noise that conventional sampling cannot, especially periodic noises. Most integrating ADCs operate with an integration period that is a multiple of one line period so that any potential interference from stray electric or magnetic fields caused by the power system is canceled. Integrating converters are gradually being replaced in the marketplace with low-speed, high-resolution sigma–delta converters, which see. Sigma–delta converters are generally more flexible than integrating ADCs, and they are easier to use because they do not require an external charging capacitor. The resolution and speed of the two types are comparable, although integrating converters still have the highest linearity.
