Engineers always want to get all they can from their circuits; this holds for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). To maximize performance from an ADC, resolution is perhaps the primary spec to focus ...

An EDN Design Idea (DI) presented a discussion of how to increase the resolution of an ADC by adding a non-deterministic, zero-mean, Gaussian noise dither waveform to a signal to be converted; then, ...

All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount ofinput-referred noise. In most cases,less input noise is better. There are some cases, however, where inputnoise can actually be helpful ...
