If you were designing a computer data acquisition system that required the use of analog-to-digital converters when analog data are changing at a fast rate, you would most likely select an SAC A/D converter over a digital-ramp A/D because:

A) the SAC is less complicated than its digital-ramp counterpart.
B) the SAC will enable the computer to acquire more data values in a given period of time.

Question 2

The main advantages of the successive-approximation ADC over the digital-ramp ADC is its:

A) shorter conversion time. B) longer conversion time.
C) less complex circuitry. D) more complex circuitry.
