Traditional amplifiers vs ADC amplifiers
(1/5) > >>
loop123:

In the concept of ADC amplifier. You put the signal into the range of the ADC by an initial low amplification Programmable Gain Amplifier. In traditional amplifiers, you amplify the entire signal using large gain and all analog,

What applications when the ADC amplifiers (like 24bit or 32 bit) are used and advantageous?  where do you use these?  Can they beat any traditional amplifiers in terms of noise?
Zero999:
The question doesn't make any sense.

Just select an op-amp or instrumentation amplifier and connect it to your ADC. Often different gains are required, in which case use a programmable gain amplifier which can be bought as an IC, or made by switching different value resistors into an instrumentation amplifier using an analogue switch.
SiliconWizard:
I'm not sure I get the question either. It looks as though either it came from some ill-defined homework question, or just some topic to feed language models.
There's one way I sort of make sense of the question, but I don't even really want to answer according to this hypothesis, as it feels like feeding either the troll, or something I don't want to feed anyway. :-//

I mean the resolution of 24 bit or 32 bit ADC is so high that it can even resolve nanoVolts. So instead of using amplifiers to amplify say audio signal. Some just use ADC to resolve the audio millivolts levels without using any amplifiers. So im just asking the pro and con of each and whether you just use ADC over amplifiers in your project. Or why not if you dont.

that's like asking why you would use a screwdriver instead of a hammer, they do two completely different things
