Question

Show the necessary steps to convert analog signal to digital signal.​

Answer 1

1. Describe the electrical output of the sensor or section preceding the gain block.
2. Calculate the ADC’s requirements.
3. Find the optimal ADC + voltage reference for the signal conversion.
4. Find the maximum gain and define search criteria for the op amp.
5. Find the optimal amplifier and design the gain block.
6. Check the total solution noise against the design target.
7. Run simulation and validate.
