The document discusses different types of analog to digital converters (ADCs). It describes five main types of ADCs: successive approximation ADCs, which provide relatively fast conversion; dual slope integrating ADCs, which are slower but reduce noise; charge balancing ADCs, which work similarly to dual slope but discharge capacitor units; flash ADCs, which are the fastest type using many comparators; and sigma-delta ADCs, which transform analog signals at low resolution and high sampling rates but can achieve high resolution through digital filtering.

electronic device used to convert input analog current to a digital number based on the current's magnitude. ADCs are either linear or non-linear according to response, and are further categorized into five different types, namely: successive approximation, dual slope integrating, flash, .charge balancing and sigma-delta converter
This circuit is a simple 8-bit analogue to digital
converter circuit which is connects to PC serial port. The circuit is based on TLC548 A/D-converter chip (might be hard to get nowadays, Texas Instruments makes this IC), which is an A/D- converter with serial output. The output of the TLC548 is not directly suitable for standard serial data reception, so this circuit uses serial port handshaking lines in a nonstandard way which enables the communication between computer and converter chip to be implemented with as few .components as possible The circuit takes all the power it needs from PC .serial port
The circuit of A-to-D converter shown here is
configured around ADC 0808, avoiding the use of a microprocessor. The ADC 0808 is an 8-bit A-to-D converter, having data lines D0-D7. It works on the principle of successive approximation. It has a total of eight analogue input channels, out of which any one can be selected using address lines A, B and C. Here, in this case, input channel IN0 is selected by .grounding A, B and C address lines Usually the control signals EOC (end of conversion), SC (start conversion), ALE (address latch enable) and OE (output enable) are interfaced by means of a microprocessor. However, the circuit shown here is built to operate in its continuous mode without using any microprocessor. Therefore the input control signals ALE and OE, being active-high, are tied to Vcc (+5 volts). The input control signal SC, being active- low, initiates start of conversion at falling edge of the pulse, whereas the output signal EOC becomes high after completion of digitization. This EOC output is coupled to SC input, where falling edge of EOC output acts as SC input to direct the ADC to .start the conversion As the conversion starts, EOC signal goes high. At next clock pulse EOC output again goes low, and hence SC is enabled to start the next conversion. Thus, it provides continuous 8-bit digital output corresponding to instantaneous value of analogue input. The maximum level of analogue input voltage should be appropriately scaled down below .positive reference (+5V) level The ADC 0808 IC requires clock signal of typically 550 kHz, which can be easily derived from a stable multi vibrator, constructed using 7404 inverter gates. In order to visualize the digital output, the row of eight LEDs (LED1 through LED8) have been used, wherein each LED is connected to respective data lines D0 through D7. Since ADC works in the continuous mode, it displays digital output as soon as analogue input is applied. The decimal equivalent digital output value D for a given analogue input voltage Vin can be calculated from the relationship Types of Analog to Digital Converters
Successive Approximation Converter
• Successive approximation converters provide a relatively speedy conversion of the input signal. They function by comparing the input with a voltage that is half its input range. When the input signal is over this level, the converter compares it with three quarters of the range. During comparison, the signal is frozen and stored in a sample and hold circuit. Once the conversion is finished, the data is transferred and placed to the computer's buffer memory, in which it is read and processed in convenient batches. Dual Slope Integrating Converter • Relatively slower than the successive approximation converter, the dual slope type is known to reduce noise and allows the input signal to charge a capacitor for a certain time frame to be measured later after the capacitor discharges at a fixed rate. Charge Balancing Converter • The charge balancing converter works similar to the dual slope integrating converter in terms of using the input signal to charge a capacitor, but this time the capacitor is discharged in units of charge packets. If the capacitor is charged more than the required packet size, the converter will release a packet; if not, a packet will not be produced. The input voltage or current is then determined by measuring the pulses coming out of the capacitor. In this type of converter, noise effects are reduced as the input signal is integrated along with the capacitor charging time. Flash Converter • The fastest type of ADC is the flash converter. It functions similar to the successive approximation converter; it compares the input signals to a certain reference voltage or current. A flash converter however has many different comparators, which correspond to the steps of comparison. Thus, an 8-bit converter has a total of 256, or 2 to the power of 8 comparators. Sigma-Delta Converter • Finally, a sigma-delta converter transforms analog signal under very low resolution and a very high sampling rate. By means of digital filtering and over sampling, the resolution can be accelerated to as much as 20 bits or more. Sigma-delta converters are used in high- resolution conversion of low-distortion and low-frequency audio signals. They are known for their high accuracy and good linearity
