Best Answer

An ADC has a measurable input voltage range that it can produce valid samples for. For example, an ADC may be able to produce 16 bit samples on the range [-.5V,+.5V]. A 16 bit range will give codes from [-32,768,32,767], which are equal to the [-.5V,+.5V] input range. If an input goes outside of the valid voltage range (but still within allowable electrical ratings), the ADC will 'saturate', in which it will continue to feed out the maximum or minimum 16 bit values. This will continue until the input comes back into the measurable range.

What is the difference between saturation and solubility?

Saturation and solubility is the same. They both meant to point out the maximum of solute dissolved through out the solvent.

What is a reference voltage of an adc?

The voltage at which the adc converts the signal.... it can also be called a limit of an ADC.


How do you make a 16 bit ADC using 2 8 bit ADC?

The min step size for 8 bit is 1/64th of the Max voltage.For 16 Bit it is 1/65536 of Max VoltageHence it is not possible.Another way to look is that A to D converter is non-linear process.IN order to use 2x8 Bit ADC as 16 Bit ADC would have meant that A to D conversion is a Linear process.
