Description

April 14, 2017

This video highlights the difference between single-ended, pseudo-differential, fully-differential, and true-differential inputs. Additionally, it covers the difference between unipolar and bipolar inputs. Finally, it discusses the difference between a switched capacitor input SAR ADC and a SAR ADC with an internal buffer.
