Digitization: ADC Operation and Architectures

This lecture covers the process of digitization, focusing on ADC operation, sampling, holding, quantization, and encoding. It explains the concepts of full-scale range, least significant bit, and the different ADC architectures such as Flash, Pipeline, and Delta-Sigma. The lecture also discusses ADC performance metrics like ENOB and SNDR, as well as the comparison of ADCs based on power consumption and resolution.
