Analog and Digital Converters 2

The document discusses various topics related to analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters including: - Sample-and-hold circuits sample an analog value and hold it for conversion to occur. - Flash analog-to-digital converters use comparators to compare reference voltages to the input voltage. - Successive approximation analog-to-digital converters have a fixed conversion time regardless of input. - R-2R ladder digital-to-analog converters can overcome issues with binary-weighted resistor converters.
