Which of the following is not a method of...

🔍 Key Concepts

• Analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) basic purpose and what an ADC actually does • Common named ADC architectures (e.g., delta-sigma, dual-slope, flash, SAR) • Difference between a true conversion architecture vs. supporting circuit techniques (like switched capacitors or dynamic-range processing)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which options are commonly listed in textbooks as primary ADC architectures or types of converters? • Does each option describe a complete ADC method, or does it sound more like a circuit technique or performance characteristic? • Which choice is LEAST likely to be the name of a standard ADC architecture used in marine electronics or general electronics design?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which terms are recognized, named ADC architectures (for example, in basic electronics references). • Check whether any option refers mainly to dynamic range (a specification) rather than a direct method of converting an analog voltage to digital counts. • Confirm whether switched-capacitor is usually described as a circuit technique used inside several ADC types, rather than the top-level name of a conversion method.

Which of the following is not a method of analog-to-digital conversion?

Delta-sigma conversion.

Dynamic - range conversion.

Switched-capacitor conversion.
