EET260: A/D and D/A converters A/D conversion We will consider process and circuits required to convert an analog waveform into a digital output. 1.00 0.75 0.50 Voltage (V) 0.25 0.00 -0.25 -0.50 -0.75 -1.00 0 1 2 3 4 Time (ms) 5 6 0110 0111 1000 1010 1100 1110 1111 1111 1111 1110 1100 1010 0111 0101 0011 Analog-to-digital conversion A/D conversion A modern A/D converter is a single-chip IC [ADC IC picture] which performs the following processes.

Anti-aliasing filter Sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit A/D converter Sample-and-hold circuit A/D conversion begins with sampling, which is carried out by a sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit. The S/H circuit takes a precise measurement of the analog voltage at specified intervals. Anti-aliasing filter Sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit A/D converter Sample-and-hold circuit A sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit accepts the analog input signal and passes it through, unchanged, during its sampling mode. In the hold mode, the amplifier remembers or memorizes a particular voltage level at the instant of sampling. The output is a fixed DC level whose amplitude is the value at the sampling time. Conversion The constant S/H output during the sampling interval permits accurate quantization. The last step is the conversion from an analog voltage into a binary number. Two common converters are: Successive-approximation Flash converter converter Anti-aliasing filter Sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit A/D converter Comparator Comparators are found in both types of A/D converters. A comparator compares two analog inputs and produces a binary output. +Vcc= +5 V A B + -Vcc= 0 V C inputs outputs if A > B C is true (+5 V) if A < B C is false (0 V) Successive-approximation converter This converter contains an 8-bit successiveapproximations register (SAR). Successive-approximation converter Special logic in the register causes each bit to be turned on one at a time from MSB to LSB until the closest binary value is stored in the register. At each clock cycle, a comparison is made. If the D/A output is greater than the analog input, that bit is turned off (set to 0) If the D/A output is less than the analog input, that bit is left on (set to 1). Process repeats until 8 bits are checked. Successive-approximation converter If the clock frequency is 200-kHz, how long does it take to complete the conversion for an 8-bit D/A converter? Successive-approximation converter Successive-approximation converters are fast and consistent. Conversion times range from 0.25 to 200 ms and 8-, 10-, 12-, and 16-bit versions are available. Flash converter A flash converter uses a large resistive voltage divider and multiple analog comparators. Flash converter The encoder logic circuit converts the 7-bit input from the comparators into a 3-bit binary output. The flash converter produces an output as fast as the comparators can switch and the signals can be translated to binary levels by the logic circuits. Flash converters are the fastest type of A/D converter. Flash converter The number of comparators is equal to 2N – 1, where N is the number of desired output bits.

Conversion speeds < 100 ns are typical. Speed less than 0.5 ns are possible. 6-, 8-, 10-bit flash converters are available.
