Signal frequency

An analog-to-digital converter rounds each sample to the nearest of 2ᴺ levels, adding quantization noise. Each extra bit halves the step size and adds about 6 dB of signal-to-noise ratio — the famous 6.02N + 1.76 dB rule. Educational tool.

Ideal SNR19.8 dB

Step size0.2500

Governing equation

SNR = 6.02 N + 1.76 = 19.8 dB, Δ = \frac{F S}{2 ^{3}} = 0.2500, \overline{n^{2}} = \frac{Δ ^{2}}{12} = 5.21 e - 3

Reading this result: Each extra bit halves the step size and adds about 6 dB; 3 bits gives 8 levels and roughly 19.8 dB of SNR.

About this simulation

The full ADC Quantization tool models an EMI filter with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
