Implement Successive Approximation ADC
This lesson is part of the Analog-to-Digital Conversion course, and after completing it, you will be able to implement a Successive Approximation ADC using binary search logic. The Successive Approximation ADC is a type of ADC that uses a binary search algorithm to approximate the analog input digitally.
Use binary search logic to approximate analog input digitally in a Successive Approximation ADC.
In a real-world scenario, consider a medical device that needs to convert an analog signal from a sensor to a digital signal that can be processed by a microcontroller. This is where the Successive Approximation ADC comes in, using binary search logic to approximate the analog input digitally. The process starts with the most significant bit (MSB) and works its way down to the least significant bit (LSB).
The Successive Approximation Register (SAR) is a key component of the Successive Approximation ADC, responsible for generating the digital output. The SAR uses a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) to generate an analog signal that is compared to the input analog signal.
The comparison is done using a comparator, which outputs a digital signal indicating whether the generated analog signal is greater than or less than the input analog signal. This digital signal is then used to update the SAR, which generates the next digital output.
