Moving on, let’s look at the architecture of the ADC-0800. Can anyone tell me what 'no missing codes' means in this context?
It means that every possible digital output is represented for every possible analog input range.
Exactly! This feature ensures accuracy in the conversion process. Another critical feature is the tri-state output, which allows multiple devices to share the same data lines. Does anyone know why this might be useful?
It saves space on the circuit board if multiple outputs can share the same line.
Correct! Just remember, tri-state outputs can be in one of three states: high, low, or high-impedance, effectively allowing them to 'disconnect' from the line.
