Single Slope ADC




Major advantage is it does not require D/A converter and also it does not require any precision device.. such as  DAC or VCO. It uses linear ramp generator to produce a constant slope reference voltage
Working:
             Initially counter is reset and ramp generator output is 0, which makes the input voltage greater than the reference voltage and produce a high output from the comparator. This high output of comparator enables the clock to the counter and starts the ramp generator.
Ramp output will increase until it equals the analog input V1 at this point, ramp is reset and binary count is stored in the latches by control logic.
