Description
Summary:IEEE-STD-1241 has been drafted and is being revised this year to prepare for ballot and publishing. A year ago, the IEEE office asked us to also coordinate its release with the IEC to make it a full International standard. We have been diligently working this requirement to ensure acceptance and use by engineers throughout the world. This paper introduces this soon-to-be-published standard. ADCs may exhibit many unique characteristics due to the numerous features and wide range of application uses. It became apparent many years ago that there were inconsistencies between the way ADCs were specified and tested, which created the need for standardization. To help solve these issues, the IEEE formed a working group of dedicated experts to draft and edit a standard that could be used for many years and meet the needs of all users.
