Performance and Information Characteristics of Optimized Flash and Adaptive Cyclic A/D Converters

Anatoliy Platonov, Konrad Jędrzejewski
Abstract:
The paper presents the results of studies on the performance of flash analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and adaptive cyclic ADC (AC ADC), their information characteristics and probability of saturation. Currently, these parameters are not used as the performance criteria in A/D conversion theory and applications, and their introduction would extend possibilities of designing both ADCs and utilizing them systems. There is also presented original approach to the improvement of ADCs performance under additional condition guaranteeing that probability of their saturation does not exceed a given confidence level.
