Abstract :
A new type of ADC is being developed to satisfy the requirements of the HEAO high spectral resolution gamma ray spectrometer. This 13 bit design utilizes a double successive approximation technique that overcomes the usual differential linearity problem. Stability of a few ppm/°C, differential linearity of 2% and integral linearity of 0.05% have been demonstrated.
