Optimize ADCs for Low Power IoT

This lesson is part of the Analog-to-Digital Conversion course, focusing on optimizing ADCs for low power IoT applications. After this lesson, learners will be able to reduce power consumption in ADCs for IoT devices.

Reducing power consumption in ADCs is crucial for low power IoT applications.

A concrete example of low power ADC optimization is the use of successive approximation ADCs in wireless sensor nodes, which can reduce power consumption by up to 90%. This is achieved by using a low-power analog circuit and a power-efficient digital circuit. The key idea is to minimize the number of conversions and use power-down modes when not in use.

Another approach is to use delta-sigma ADCs, which can achieve high resolution at low power consumption. This is achieved by using a noise-shaping technique that pushes the noise to high frequencies, allowing for a lower sampling rate and reduced power consumption.

In addition to these architectures, power management techniques such as voltage scaling and clock gating can also be used to reduce power consumption in ADCs.
