Abstract
Chapter 1 discusses the various performance parameters and architectures of ADCs. The SAR ADC is presented as the ADC that is most frequently used in industrial applications, because it provides a high resolution (12–18 bit) at a medium sample rate (around 1 MSPS). This chapter therefore presents design and architectural basics and details regarding the components of a SAR ADC [1].
