Selecting the Best Data Converter for a Given Noise Budget: Part 3

Figure 1. Noise in the signal chain. A noise budget is the allocation of the noise in a signal chain that results in an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the output. The SNR is defined as the ...

Increasing ADC resolution by adding dither to DC signals

An EDN Design Idea (DI) presented a discussion of how to increase the resolution of an ADC by adding a non-deterministic, zero-mean, Gaussian noise dither waveform to a signal to be converted; then, ...

Understanding Continuous-Time, Discrete-Time Sigma-Delta ADCs And Nyquist ADCs

Sigma-delta converters are in wide use among applications that demand high precision and accuracy. A variant of the sigma-delta architecture, called the continuous-time sigma delta (CT-S?), has found ...

Neural Network Model Quantization On Mobile

The general definition of quantization states that it is the process of mapping continuous infinite values to a smaller set of discrete finite values. In this blog, we will talk about quantization in ...
