Random Op-Amp TEST - 2

Heuristic Test /// note that no matter these results may seem poor , they are poor in conjunction to the (perhaps a poor) test setup and relative to each other - - - i never test poor amplifiers (e.g. something that i know will fail my application) or do not test such without especially denoting it . . . as in fact the TLV314 was the best performer of a previous tests of it's kind (Low-power , Low-Voltage CMOS Op Amps) - - - here we have a high slew rate and/or high slew rate to bandwidth ratio Op Amps tested (where the TLV314 is just for comparison)

Fuzzily about how it works

yet another DAC

it seems the Spice Models do "Count" -- although this may seem a far shot -- then there is actually a real life analogy or at least a strong potential -- that the certain components or a combination of produces far better results than some others !!

perhaps continued ...

optimistic with "continuous"/slow slope signal

base/radix 3 ver. :: uses the same amount of ic-s per cascade -- but has "exponentially" higher resolution

↑ the radix 3 output can be converted to binary by summers -- for example ↑

at the sown  ADC-s when switched to 5V single supply and the CMOS comparators and op amp-s -- the least can be extended with 74HC125 or ↓ 74HC126 ↓ (to gain the OC OE functionality of LM311) . . . in other words by these changes the circuit can be made faster

CMOS Radix-3 :: 2.5x faster than a "slow" LM324

↑ there's some optimistic 2.5µs read window ↑ to stay at the precision of the shown 0 to 26 e.g. 27 level of quantization . . .

As a target of these tests -- i attempted to find suitable ADC - DAC combination to set up a successive approximation ADC

• as by adding cascades to shown cascaded(/pipelined) ADC-s -- the transition delay to LSB-s increases -- they don't much improve the final conversion speed
• basically the cascaded converters are a "Static SAR DAC" variants -- the SA delay still remains
• i must rethink the concept here
  
  • -- either should use a parallel converter
  • or try to incorporate/integrate a differential approach
