Analog-to-Digital Conversion Basics

This lecture covers the fundamentals of analog-to-digital conversion, including static and dynamic characteristics of converters, such as resolution, quantization, and conversion rate. It explains the operation of both unipolar and bipolar converters, detailing the conversion process and binary coding. The instructor discusses the importance of reference voltage, quantization steps, and the impact of the number of bits on the resolution of the conversion. The lecture also delves into the temporal aspects of converters, focusing on the conversion frequency and the maximum number of conversions per second. Various examples and illustrations are used to clarify the concepts presented.
