  • Abstract
    There are two basic arguments for the importance of high-speed voltage-to-digital translation equipment in an industrial control system. The first is that early voltage-to-digital conversion is an important step toward overall system reliability. Second, in a system where such equipment is used, in many applications system accuracy can be achieved only through the use of a high-speed converter. The first argument ¿ the one for system reliability ¿ is the more well-known of the two and is therefore considered only briefly. The second argument ¿ system accuracy via high - speed digitization ¿ is treated more fully and is exemplified by descriptions of specific applications of high-speed conversion devices.
