Many data-acquisition systems require both high accuracy and a fast acquisition rate. These attributes allow the system to detect small data signals and to group more sensor channels into the same ...

If the input signal moves at least the analog-to-digital converter’s (ADC’s) resolution (Δ) over the time it takes to take multiple samples, the average result of these multiple signals will increase ...

Part 1 of this column (ED Online 18899) showed how designers can use additive dither and oversampling to increase the resolution of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). In this edition, we will ...
