In summary, ADCs are devices that take in analog signals and converts them to a digital code for further processing or storage. The four types of ADCs are pipeline, flash, successive approximation (SAR), and sigma delta (ΔΣ). Each of these technologies have different benefits and address different applications. Key ADC parameters were reviewed like resolution, offset error, gain error, integrated non-linearity error (INL), and differential non-linearity error (DNL). The MAX1301 is one of many ADCs that Analog Devices offers. It is a four channel 16-bit, 115 ksps, SAR ADC suitable for different industrial applications.
