Using input-referred noise to improve analog-to-digital converter resolution

All analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have a certain amount ofinput-referred noise. In most cases,less input noise is better. There are some cases, however, where inputnoise can actually be helpful ...

Squeeze 10-Bit Performance From An 8-Bit ADC, Part 1: Additive Dithering

What’s the cost of an underused hardware resource? If you spec your microcontroller to have a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) but only require 8 bits, you’ve paid for extra performance that ...
