Understanding Flash ADCs


Posted on Nov 15, 2012

Flash analog-to-digital converters, also known as parallel ADCs, are the fastest way to convert an analog signal to a digital signal. Flash ADCs are ideal for applications requiring very large bandwidth, however, they typically consume more power than other ADC architectures and are generally limited to 8-bits resolution. Flash ADCs are made by cascading high-speed comparators. Each comparator represents 1 LSB, and the output code can be determined in one compare cycle. This tutorial will also talk about flash converters vs. other converter types.
