File:4-bit Successive Approximation DAC.gif

Summary

Description
English: The animation shows the bitwise approximation of an analog input value within a 4-bit ADC. The simulation is based on a reference voltage of 5V and several different input voltages in the range from 0V to 5V. The animation was created using TIKZ, beamer and XeLaTeX.
