Limiting Amplifier Makes Efficient A/D Converter Driver - 09/02/96
EDN-Design Ideas: Limiting amplifiers are useful for protecting circuitry that
has a limited input range. A classic example is an input buffer for an A/D
converter.....(design idea added 04/03/02)
LVDS Outputs for High Speed A/D Converters - AN-586 Analog Devices Application
Notes (app note added 2/06) AD9430 High Speed ADC Uses LVDS (Low-Voltage
Differential Signaling) to Minimize Performance Limitations In ADC Applications
When Providing High Speed Data Output
Missing Codes Tester Checks 16 Bit ADC in 7 Sec - 06/10/99 EDN-Design Ideas: As
the resolution of ADCs increases from 12 to 16 bits and higher, the difficulty in
testing the "nomissing-codes "specification grows proportionately. To fully guarantee
no missing codes for a 16-bit ADC requires testing all 2 16-1 possible
output.....(design idea added 6/06)
Mixed Signal Circuit Technologies - AN-280 Analog Devices Application Notes
(app note added 2/06) Considers problems which arise when reality (& Murphy)
intervene in a design which otherwise seems satisfactory in terms of theory and
modeling.
