comparator output is a 1 otherwise the output is a 0. Each of the
comparators has a different reference dc voltage. The output of the
comparators is converted into an 8- bit integer by the encoder.
All ADCs have non- linearity errors which, if not corrected, can give less
accurate vertical measurement results. For example, the non- linearity error
for a 3- bit ADC is shown in the following figure.
