Programmable nonlinear ADC: an illustrative example
Programmable nonlinear analog-to-digital conversion is a new topic in EE curricula. With a view to introducing the EE student to the concept of transfer characteristic programmability of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a memory-prefetch programmable nonlinear ADC is presented. The design, analytical evaluation, and experimental implementation for the ADC are described.
