Abstract

An analog-to-digital converter is an essential building block in modern signal processinh. Both the analog-to-digital conversion as well as the digital-to-analog conversion are key functions for optimally exploiting the capabilities of the digital signal processing core. Three basic processes are distinguished in analog-to-digital conversion: the transition between the time-continuous domain and time-discrete domain, the quantization of the signal amplitude and the relation between physical quantities and numerical quantities.
