CDB5341

Evaluation Boards - Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs)

The CDB5341 is a high speed 8-bit analog to digital converters (ADCs) with voltage inputs capable of sampling 1Msps. It integrates all the necessary elements for integrating and measuring the signals from sensors, allowing the application engineer to accurately read the sensor signals and provide higher performance. This is because it has the advantage of being able to structure and convert the analog input data into 8-bit digital output.

Application Field

The CDB5341 is suitable for use in any application where a high-speed, high-resolution ADC is needed. It can be used in a wide array of applications from industrial monitoring and control systems, automotive control and instrumentation, machine vision and automation, home and portable audio production, communications, medical imaging, video surveillance, and more. Due to its flexibility and high resolution, the CDB5341 can be used in applications that require both sensor input data conversion and signal conditioning to produce accurate, low-noise digital data.

Working Principle

The analog signal is converted to digital data by the ADC in two stages. In the first stage, the analog voltage is sampled at a very high frequency. At this stage, the analog signal is digitized, i.e. the analog values are converted into digital values, by passing the signal through a DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter). The DACs output is then compared to the input signal, and the resulting data is converted into digital values for reduction in the noise. In the second stage, the digital data is processed by the ADC to reduce the noise and structural errors in the signal. Then, the digital data is smoothed out and converted into 8-bit values, which is the output of the ADC.

Conclusion

The CDB5341 is a high-speed, low-power, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter suitable for a variety of applications. Its application fields include industrial monitoring and control systems, automotive control and instrumentation, machine vision and automation, communications, medical imaging, and video surveillance. Its working principle involves two stages, where in the first stage, the analog signal is sampled and digitized and then passed through a DAC for comparison to the input signal and reduction of noise in the second stage. The output is then processed and converted to 8-bit digital outputs.
