Analog Input Channels: | This is the maximum number of analog channel inputs. The single-ended number is specified when single-ended inputs are available as twice the number of differential inputs. Differential channels use the difference between two signals as an input; common mode is filtered out. In some systems, differential inputs are combinations of two single-ended inputs. When this is the case, twice the number of differential channels are available as single-ended inputs. | ||
Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value. | ||
Differential Channels | Differential channels have two inputs. The signal to process is the voltage (V) difference between the two inputs. For example, if one reading is 4.93 V and the other reading is 5.16 V, the meaningful value is the 0.23 V difference between the two. Often, this applies to precision measurements where the difference between two low-voltage inputs is small but critical. | ||

Each additional bit doubles the resolution, and one bit is required for the polarity (sign) of a number. | ||

Analog-to-Digital Conversion Type
Back to Top
Analog-to-Digital Conversion Type | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Flash | Flash ADCs apply the input in parallel to many fast comparators whose thresholds are equally spaced throughout the desired input voltage range, typically 1V. At any moment, all the comparators that have thresholds below the input voltage are on, and the rest are off. A series of latching AND gates connect between adjacent comparators so that only the gate at the boundary between the on and off comparators is active. The input clock latches the AND gate outputs, and a pipelined circuit converts this one-out-of-N input to a binary output. Flash ADCs need 2N comparators to generate an N-bit output, and thus they tend to have no more than 6 to 10 output bits. Because the input has to drive all the comparators in parallel, the input capacitance is a major limitation to the bandwidth. The sampling bit synchronizer can often use this input capacitance as one element of the noise filter. | ||
Half-flash | Half-flash ADCs determine their output code by digitally combining the results of two sequentially performed, lower-resolution flash conversions. | ||
Integrator | Integrators are ADCs whose output code represents the average value of the input voltage over a given time interval. | ||
Delta Sigma (Modulator) | Delta sigma (modulator) is a high-accuracy circuit that samples at a higher rate and lower resolution than is needed and (by means of feedback loops) pushes the quantization noise above the frequency range of interest. This out-of-band noise is typically removed by digital filters. | ||
Successive Approximation | Successive approximation ADCs sequentially compare a series of binary-weighted values with an analog input to produce an output digital word in n steps, where n is the bit resolution of the ADC. | ||
Voltage-to-Frequency | Voltage-to-frequency ADCs convert an input voltage to an output pulse train with a frequency proportional to the input voltage. Output frequency is determined by counting pulses over a fixed time interval and the voltage is inferred from the known relationship. Voltage-to-frequency conversion has a high degree of noise rejection, because the input signal is effectively integrated over the counting interval. Voltage-to-frequency conversion is commonly used to convert slow and often noisy signals. It is also useful for remote sensing applications in noisy environments. The input voltage is converted to a frequency at the remote location and the digital pulse train is transmitted over a pair of wires to the counter. This eliminates the noise that can be introduced in the transmission of an analog signal over a long distance. | ||
Other | Other specialized or unlisted methods of analog-to-digital conversion. | ||
