Abstract

In the modern digital era, the conversion of analog signals to digital data is a crucial process for a wide range of applications in industries such as consumer electronics, medical devices, and telecommunications. The accelerated evolution of digital technology is driving a surge in demand for high-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of analog-to-digital converters, emphasizing their types, applications, performance measurements, and most recent developments. In the paper, emphasis is placed on the mechanisms of different ADC architectures, such as Successive Approximation Register (SAR), Sigma-Delta (Σ-Δ), and Flash ADCs, and their respective strengths and weaknesses are evaluated. In terms of technique, it synthesizes and summarizes research results from multiple academic sources and technical papers. In addition to underscoring the pivotal concerns of ADC design, including power consumption, resolution, and sample rate, the research delves into novel approaches that leverage the use of advanced materials and techniques. The research results demonstrate the continued development of ADC technology and its critical function in improving the effectiveness and performance of digital systems.
