8 Bit Analog-To-Digital Converter Design And Simulation, Alberto J. Reyes

Journal of the Microelectronic Engineering Conference

The purpose of this study is to present and characterize an 8 bit AD converter implemented with flash architecture. Flash architecture provides with one of the fastest and easiest ways to convert analog input signals to digital outputs. Analog-to-digital conversion is the process in which a continuously varying analog signal is transformed into a multilevel digital signal. Analogue electrical waveforms are applied to the converter and are sampled at a fixed rate. Sample values are then expressed as a binary number consisting of 0’s and l’s. The resulting digital code can be used to encode digital audio, applications in video …
