Part 1:

The objective of many typical control system applications is to effect a control action based on the status of input control variables. Some of these include position, speed, angle, level, temperature…

This is the second post in our SAR ADC series.

Part 2: A marketing analogy

When a response time of 1 µs is required from the SAR ADC (t_RESP-ADC = 1 µs), many engineers would search for a SAR ADC with throughput of 1 Msps (t_THROUGHPUT = 1 us…
