Abstract
The chapter discusses the key specifications for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and explains the way in which they can impact the expected results from one's converter. This list of specifications generally applies to all classes of converters. The particulars of the successive approximation register (SAR) ADC are discussed in the chapter. The chapter explains the way the SAR converter works. The issues discussed give an insight on how to use this type of converter effectively, the first time. The performance specifications and characteristics discussed with emphasis on how to design with or around some of the converter's shortcomings. An analog-to-digital converter translates an analog input signal into a discrete digital code. This digital representation of the real-world signal can be manipulated in the digital domain for the purposes of information processing, computing, data transmission, or control system implementation.
