Clarity - INT9 A/D converter Brief Description
5
A/D Converter types in general
Prior to collecting and processing the chroma-
tographic signal by a computer, the analog
signal of the detector must first be converted to
digital form using an analog/digital (A/D)
converter.
In principle, there are three types of A/D
converters – sampling, integrating and
ΔΣ
(Delta-Sigma - with continuous integration).
The INT9 card uses Delta-Sigma integration.
Advantages of the INT9 A/D converter
No loss of input signal during integration.
There are no time delays during which the
converter fails to integrate the input signal.
No continuous servicing of the input analog
switches, which would otherwise cause errors
(offset, noise).
Substantially smaller amounts of data entering
the computer due to individual data items
already representing partial integrals.
