Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) Resolution Calculator

Calculate Your ADC Resolution & Step Size

Enter the resolution of your ADC in bits (e.g., 8, 10, 12, 16).
Enter the reference voltage of the ADC in Volts (e.g., 3.3V, 5V).

Quickly determine the resolution of an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) in bits, along with its voltage step size (LSB) and quantized voltage. Essential for designing accurate sensor interfaces and understanding data acquisition systems. Optimize your electronic projects with precise ADC calculations.

Formula:

The core formulas used in this calculator are:

  • Step Size (LSB): LSB = Vref / 2N
  • Maximum Quantized Voltage: Vmax_quant = (2N - 1) * LSB

Where:

  • Vref: Reference Voltage (Volts)
  • N: Number of Bits (Resolution)
  • LSB: Least Significant Bit (Step Size) (Volts)
  • Vmax_quant: Maximum Quantized Voltage (Volts)
