Luminary Micro provides an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) module on some members of theStellaris microcontroller family. The hardware resolution of the ADC is 10 bits; however, due to noiseand other accuracy-diminishing factors, the true accuracy is less than 10 bits. This application noteprovides a software-based oversampling technique, resulting in an improved Effective Number OfBits (ENOB) in the conversion result. This document describes methods of oversampling an inputsignal, and the impact on precision and overall system performance.
