DC1908A-C

The DC1908A-C application field and working principle is a specially designed Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) used in diverse fields of applications. It provides 16 bit processing resolution and high speed sample rate of up to 4 million samples per second to streamline accurate analog signal translation (also known as sonification) to digital in near real time.

Overview of ADC

An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) is a device that converts an analog signal into its digital equivalent for further processing or for storage. Every ADC can has a different resolution, speed, and performance depending on its individual design and purpose. Professionals working with digital audio and video require fast and high quality ADC devices. The DC1908A-C ADC performances and features include:

• 16-bit resolution with ±25 mV maximum measurement range
• 4MSPs (mega samples per second) sample rate with up to 5 MHz signal bandwidth
• Low power operation: 1.8V dedicated IO supply and 1.2V dedicated digital logic supply
• Supported external logic voltage: 1.2V~2.5V
• ESD circuit protection
• 6mm x 6mm WLCSP (wafer level chip scale package)

Schematic Representation of ADC

An ADC schematic diagram helps to make understand how an ADC works. It generally consists of a multiplexer, a sample and hold circuit, a reference voltage generator and a comparator. As shown in the diagram below, the input signal is routed to the MUX input by making the appropriate selection from the multiplexer.

The selection of the MUX is done using an address code that is generated externally. The address code also selects the reference voltage and this voltage is then compared with the input signal. The comparator then provides a binary output code, which is an analog representation of the digital equivalent of the input signal.

Working of ADC

An ADC works by sequentially sampling the input signal and converting each sample into a digital code. A reference voltage is also provided to the ADC, which is compared with the input voltage to generate the digital output code. The resolution of the ADC is determined by the reference voltages used for sampling. For example, if the reference voltage is 10V, then the resolution would be 10 bits.

In the DC1908A-C ADC, the input signal is first passed through an internal multiplexer and is then sampled by a sample and hold circuit. The reference voltage is obtained from an external reference voltage generator. The comparator then compares the input signal and the reference voltage and produces the digital output (binary) code. The output code is then sent to the digital signal processor or the microcontroller for further processing.

Applications of ADC

ADCs are used in a wide range of applications such as data acquisition systems, automation systems, process control systems, digital communications, digital audio and video, medical imaging, and test and measurement systems. The DC1908A-C ADC is well suited for industrial and consumer applications due to its high accuracy, low power consumption, and fast sample rate.

In consumer applications, the DC1908A-C ADC can be used in digital cameras and camcorders to convert the analog signal into digital for further processing or storage. It is also well suited for measuring temperature or pressure in industrial applications where accuracy and fast response is required. It can also be used in health monitoring applications to measure heart rate or other vital signs.
