Design of low power flash ADC

Abstract

An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a circuit that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital values. It takes an analog signal as input, which is continuously variable over time or amplitude, and converts it into a digital signal, which consists of a series of discrete numerical values. In the real world computers work with digital data. Analog signals, such as those from sensors, microphones, or cameras, need to be converted to digital form for processing by these digital systems. Analog signals are susceptible to noise, interference, and degradation over distance. ADCs help in accurately capturing and digitizing these signals, enabling precise measurements and analysis.
