Input signal conditioning circuits for precision SAR analog to digital converters

摘要

The paper presents a review of the known signal conditioning circuits that may be used as a front-end of precision high-resolution successive-approximation register (SAR) analog to digital converters (ADC). The review was created while searching for the optimal signal conditioning circuit to be used with a high-resolution SAR ADC applied in a precise sampler for voltage, power, energy and impedance metrology applications.
