(a) Successive approximation
(b) Dual-slope
(b) Parallel comparator Maximum conversion time for 8 bit ADC in clock cycles
(1) 1 (2) 2
(3) 16 (4) 256
(5) 512
(a) Successive approximation
(b) Dual-slope
(b) Parallel comparator Maximum conversion time for 8 bit ADC in clock cycles
(1) 1 (2) 2
(3) 16 (4) 256
(5) 512
Successive approximation: T_{\max }=n T_{ clk }
n = number of bits =8 T_{ clk }
(b) Dual-slope: 2^{n^{H}} T_{ clk }=2^{9} T_{ clk }
(c) Parallel comparator =572 T_{ clk }
⇒ =1 T_{ clk }.
Hence, the correct option is (a).
