Design and Simulation of a New Reconfigurable Analog to Digital Converter based on Multisim

Abstract

This paper presents the design of a reconfigurable Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). The design employs a sub-ranging technique and implements a reconfigurable ADC which can be configured to give 8-bit, 12-bit and 16-bit resolution. This ADC can be used for a variety of applications since its resolution and conversion time can be varied depending upon the application. The design has been simulated using NI Multisim 14.1 and results have been presented in this paper. It achieves 8-bit resolution with the sampling rate of 100MHz, 12-bit resolution with the sampling rate of 250KHz and16-bit resolution with the sampling rate of 50KHz.
