					<description><![CDATA[Arduino is a popular family of open source microcontroller boards.  Hobbyists, students and engineers all over the world use this platform to quickly design and prototype a microcontroller driven circuit.  One of its interfaces with the analog world is the ADC.  Since these boards are mostly designed around an ATMEL ATmega32 or ATmega168 microcontroller, the ADC has 8 inputs and 10-bit resolution, making it suitable for many applications. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Articles on Internet and different books show how to calculate the Least Significant Bit (LSB), but they take into consideration either the voltage reference (Vref) or the full scale (FS) of the ADC or DAC.  Many times this leads to confusion, as a few messages I received from my readers show.  Therefore, this article shows both ways of defining the LSB, so that people will have a clear understanding how to treat an ADC’s (Analog-to-Digital-Converter) or DAC’s (Digital-to-Analog-Converter) LSB.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Unipolar to bipolar converters are useful when we have to have a unipolar component to do a certain job in a mixed signal design environment.  For example, Digital to Analog Converters (DACs) may have the output voltage range 0 to 2.5 V, or 0 to 5 V, while the design asks for a range of –5 V to +5 V.  To comply with this requirement, we have to design a unipolar to bipolar converter which will be inserted between the DAC output and the following bipolar stage.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Most ADCs have a unipolar input range that can be a problem when designing bipolar circuits.  Some common ADC input voltage ranges are 0 to 2.5 V, or 0 to 5 V.  However, the analog circuit that drives the ADC can have voltage swings of, –1 V to +1 V, –2 V to +2 V , –5 V to +5 V, and so on.  Bringing the ADC input below ground is a big No-No, because the current from input will flow through the chip substrate creating irreversible changes in the ADC and damage it.  So, how do we connect a bipolar front end circuit with a unipolar ADC?  Enters the bipolar to unipolar converter.  Let’s design one.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What is INL?  This term describes the non-linearity of Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) and Digital to Analog Converters (DAC).  INL stands for Integral Non-Linearity.  Is this term important? Should we be concerned about this specification?  The answer is yes.]]></description>
