Many of us consider the ADC to be a mysterious device. It can, however, be considered very simply to be the instrument that it is: a device that provides an output that digitally represents the input voltage or current level. Notice I said voltage or current . Most ADCs convert an input voltage to a digital word, but the true definition of an ADC does include the possibility of an input current. An ADC has an analog reference voltage or current against which the analog input is compared. The digital output word tells us what fraction of the reference voltage or current is the input voltage or current. So, basically, the ADC is a divider. The Input/Output transfer function is given by the formula indicated here. If you have seen this formula before, you probably did not see the “G” term (gain factor). This is because we generally consider this to be unity. However, National Semiconductor has introduced ADCs with other gain factors, so it is important to understand that this factor is present. ___________________________________________________________________________ _ PLEASE NOTE: The discussion here assumes an ADC with a binary output.
