Analog to Digital Converters (ADC): A Literature Review

Abstract

The signal processing is advancing day by day as its needs and in wireline/wireless communication technology from 2G to 4G cellular communication technology with CMOS scaling process. In this context the high-performance ADCs, analog to digital converters have snatched the attention in the field of digital signal processing. The primary emphasis is on low power approaches to circuits, algorithms and architectures that apply to wireless systems. Different techniques are used for reducing power consumption by using low power supply, reduced threshold voltage, scaling of transistors, etc. In this paper, we have discussed the different types and different techniques used for analog to digital conversion of signals considering several parameters.

Analog-to-digital converters: a review of existing architectures and a new proposal for high resolution sensors

“…Similarly, sigma-delta ADCs cover the wide conversion region in the resolution-versus-bandwidth plane. The above types of data converters digitize a diverse types of signals in various applications fluctuating from ultra-low-power biomedical devices to high resolution senor networks to ultra-wide-band communications (Bashir et al , 2016; Dalmia and Sinha, 2020).…”
