If you were designing a computer data acquisition system that required the use of analog- to- digital converters when analog data are changing at a fast rate, you would most likely select an SAC A/D converter over a digital- ramp A/D because:
A) the SAC will enable the computer to acquire more data values in a given period of time.
B) the SAC is less complicated than its digital- ramp counterpart.
