If the signal is audio or even an image and if you reconstruct the signal, your brain will pick out the pattern. Audio engineers do the same process if they are going to reduce sample sizes for the same reason.
The video below covers that and the same ideas apply. This has the effect of randomly causing some values to round up and some to round down with no discernable pattern. Averaging over these values can actually increase resolution. Often the noise can appear outside the frequency range the rest of the system is looking for, so it is easy to filter out. All these bit calculations are interesting, but an even more interesting topic for another day is how these converters work and the reverse, too, of course.
Our computers are good at counting and counting time. They are bad at measuring voltages, currents, temperatures, and other real-world quantities. So most converters somehow convert those quantities into either counts or time. For example, a successive approximation converter will convert a count to a voltage and compare it to the unknown voltage. An unknown resistance might form a time delay with a capacitor and the computer can measure that time.
Not every bit is worth 4mV in your example. The first is 1mV, the second 2mV and so on. Otherwise, great article. Each bit will be worth 4 mV —. Only the least significant bit is worth 4mV. I think you confused him by choosing 4. Someone who does this a lot can easily see that number and jump to 12 bits. Would that be right? Please correct this. Dang it. Will fix it now. Thanks for the catch. One example is the Arduino Uno — I regularly get a few extra bits out of that one with this trick — and they really are good, as tested with a precision dc source.
PICs often can give you about 1 extra bit as well. Both have better internal linearity than is required to meet their spec, which is why this works. What I do is sample 4 times per actual output sample, and sum the samples. If you were sampling at say 6 hz, you might catch 60hz noise at always the same phase, which then looks like a DC offset….
Yup, in theory it improves with the square root of the amount of oversampling. Downsampling by four gives you one extra bit, and downsampling by 16 gives you 2 bits. Which means your 8-bit becomes a bit ADC. Depending on the bandwidth of the signal you are chasing, you can repeat this — by the time you get down to AM radio about 9 KHz you have added about 9 bits of resolution to the original ADC. So I did some experimenting with different methods to generate that dithering noise:. Turns out you can do a reasonably good job by simply toggling a digital pin with a resistor on it while you do the ADC readings — though synchrony generates some small offsets that need to be taken care of in calibration.
Hum, is your optical package able to resolve less than 1px detail? It is a hot topic at the moment. Or use some other electronic version of what watches use to prevent non-linearity? Makes you wonder if they know what they are doing. The max value of a sine or cosine is 1, so this is where the the signal crosses the t axis.
Applied to a 1kHz signal, it should be pretty easy to show how much jitter produces errors greater than 1bit, 2bits, etc. Then you can use this info when choosing sample rates. I would like to mention that quantization error is not linear over the range of the adc.
Looking at the upper range an error of one bit at mV is about 0. Then just exponentiate in software. I think that is why the spec linearity, monotonic, differential error and integral error relative to the full range. Linearity means if you add the output you get for an input of 2 and an input of 3, you get the same answer as you do when the input is 5.
Monotonic means each input produces only one output and that codes output values come one after the other in counting order. Differential error is the error you see if you check steps against the previous or next code versus a precise input voltage that is varied.
In a perfect converter, the output steps change every time the input changes by exactly the same amount. Integral error is the error over large ranges of outputs. It can be the sum of all the differential errors. I think best described as the deviation from the ideal value and usually measured from the center of a step. For example, the output changing from 3 to 4 then sticking on 4 until the input makes it move to 6. Now for a little practical lab, your digital to analog converter in the computer you are looking at.
Most people leave the volume slider on their computer at some middle position so they can turn it up when wanting it loud or for the frustrating YouTube video with sound at or more dB. In standard audio practice the level at all points in the mixing chain is near full with no clipping and expected headroom preserved. Only the final power amp gain is the one to adjust final loudness as actual sound.
In digital audio there is the need to use all 16 bits to full advantage, and there is no headroom at all. Thus the final amplifier gain is the only way to adjust overall loudness. The graph with the analog outputs versus possible combinations of inputs is shown below. The output is a negative going staircase waveform with 15 steps of -. In practice, due to the variations in the logic HIGH voltage levels, all the steps will not have the same size.
The value of the feedback resistor Rf changes the size of the steps. Thus, a desired size for a step can be obtained by connecting the appropriate feedback resistor.
The only condition to look out for is that the maximum output voltage should not exceed the saturation levels of the op-amp. Metal-film resistors are more preferred for obtaining accurate outputs. This is why; R and 2R method is more preferred as it requires only two sets of precision resistance values. As in the binary-weighted resistors method, the binary inputs are simulated by the switches b0-b3 , and the output is proportional to the binary inputs.
