Steven writes: Almost ten years ago I wrote an entry about the “1 bit = 6 dB” rule of thumb. This rule states that for each bit you add to a signal, you add 6 dB of signal to noise ratio. The first derivation I gave then was focused on the noise, where the noise […]

App note: Process high-voltage input levels into a low-voltage ADC without losing much SNR
Here’s an application note from Maxim: Process high-voltage input levels into a low-voltage ADC without losing much SNR It is often difficult to find an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that aligns with the analog input range, but also has the appropriate number of inputs, the needed size, and the correct sample speed. Especially for system designers working […]
