A Simple ADC Comparison Matrix

Abstract: Maxim manufactures analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) using the six popular ADC architectures. Deciding on the correct ADC requires tradeoffs between resolution, channel count, power consumption, size, conversion time, static performance, dynamic performance, and price. Designers need to know the key features, and have a basic understanding of the architectures and their design limitations.
