hello
i have to integrate a ADC of 14 bits. because I have estimated the noise to 3mV for 24V of dynamic range (bipolar signal +/-12V). As you can imagine I couldn't connect it directly to my ADC and therefore I have to introduce an adaptation stage to adapt the voltage range to my ADC.
What is the best way to not to degrade the SNR ? a big attenuator ? (for example +/-5V bipolar input ADC) or a bigger dynamic ADC voltage range ?
