Electronics - Analog and Digital Converters

A sample-and-hold circuit samples an analog value and holds it long enough for the analog-to-digital conversion to occur.

Incorrect codes are a form of output error for a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).

If we double the number of bits in our digital representation of a number from 4 to 8 bits, we double the relative accuracy of the conversion from digital to analog.

The flash method of analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) uses comparators that compare reference voltages with the analog input voltage.

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is said to be nonmonotonic if the magnitude of the output voltage increases every time the input code increases.
