Model Your ADCs In Spice (Part 2)

When designing a system’s signal chain, lots of time is probably devoted to selecting the proper analog-signal driver for the successive-approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC).

ADC Basics, Part 10A: 16-Bit Converter Gives a Gainable 12-Bit System

In our quest for a 12-bit system to handle handheld meters, data loggers, automotive systems, or monitoring systems, we used 12-bit ADCs to solve our problem. The system we are designing today must ...

Model Your ADCs In Spice (Part 1)

Simulating a circuit design before committing it to silicon is always the wise thing to do, since problems can be caught before they become costly mistakes. Analog designers’ familiarity with Spice 1 ...
