 Achieving 20 or more bits of resolution places a heavy demand on the linearity and noise of analog signals prior to the A/D conversion.

 Linearity
 Linearity problems (typically associated with larger signals) should be avoided to prevent overall signal distortions. Proper circuit design places non linear devices inside a negative feedback path, thus allowing the transfer function to depend on a few linear component (such as resistor ratio). Closer examination reveals that the effectiveness of negative feedback is limited by the open loop gain of the amplifier (the available gain prior to the feedback action). Constructing a 10dB gain stage out of, say, a 50dB open loop amplifier provides 40dB of feedback; thus circuit nonlinearities are corrected for by a factor of 100. A 1% nonlinearity reduces to a .01% level. The same stage, when set to a gain of 20dB, yields only 50-20=30dB of 'linearizing power'; thus the same 1% circuit nonlinearity is corrected to 1/31.6 = .03%. The 'obvious' solution of increasing circuit open loop gain is riddled with problems ranging from impulse response settling time to loss of bandwidth.

Noise
 The (A/D conversion) of analog noise causes loss of fine signal detail. The noise introduces time varying signal dependent distortions. Such sample by sample deviation can not be compared to the seemingly 'constant' analog background noise. The interaction between the noise and the process effects the sonic detail at much higher amplitude than the noise level itself. The source material may have its own noise level, but the A/D manufacturer is in no position to decide which part of the material is signal and which part is noise. (Is it undesirable noise or is it the intentional recording of the wind blowing through the trees?) Thus, any signal must be reproduced accurately. All we can do, and all we should do amounts to avoiding additional A/D noise. A/D noise consists of two parts: analog noise (prior to ), and noise. The noise level is 'fixed' by the converter itself. Model AD122-96 MKIII noise relative full scale is about 122dBFS. Keeping complete system noise level at 122dBFS requires careful treatment of the analog path. Each circuit component (especially resistors and semiconductors) generates its own noise. The complex electron motion within the various materials adds up to a cumulative noise. Intentional amplification of signals yields undesirable amplification of noise. Once again, each dB of added gain takes away a dB from the available dynamic range.

AD122-96 MKIII Input Range
 You may suspect by now that our aim is to provide you with an A/D converter and leave the problem of providing a 'hot' signal at the hands of microphone and mic- preamplifier manufacturers. Like many A/D's, Model AD122-96 MKIII provides limited gain (0-11.5dB).
