Description
Selecting the most suitable A/D Converter (ADC) for your application is based on more than just the precision or bits. Different architectures are available, each exhibiting advantages and disadvantages in various data acquisition systems. The required accuracy or precision of the system puts you in a category based on the number of bits required. It is important to always design your system to allow for more bits than initially required: if an application calls for 10 bits of accuracy, choose a 12-bit converter. The achievable accuracy of a converter will always be less than the total number of bits available.
