16 Bit AD Converter W /  RS232 Interface:

16 bit ADC provides 19 bit resolution: 02/21/2002  EDN - Design Ideas /  Many data-acquisition systems require both high accuracy and a fast acquisition rate. These attributes allow the system to detect small data signals and to group more sensor channels into the same system. With more channels, the system can be smaller, less expensive, and less power-consuming. Long-distance optical communications and medical equipment, such as CT scanners, can benefit from... .

18 bit ADC uses PC's serial port: 09/27/2001 EDN - Design Ideas / A PC usually requires a plug-in ADC card to process analog signals. However, with the circuitry in Figure 1, a PC can communicate with an 18-bit ADC through its serial port. The port provides both positive and negative power supplies as well as control signals. IC1 is an 18-bit MAX132 ADC with a serial interface.
