If you look at the article history before I copyedited it, you can see that this article was created as an essay/school project. "Our interest focuses", "We will give", "We propose", etc. The text was copied wholesale from the french version, its unreferenced, and gives no assertion of nobility. This is not a real field, and shouldn't have its own article. Nolelover 22:00, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This is a very real field, but the place is already taken by Successive approximation ADC. Nothing to merge, no need for a redirect either (too long name for a search term). Successive approximation ADC itself is also in poor shape, but it's manageable and so is the definition of SAR ADC in Analog-to-digital_converter#ADC_structures (the latter contains a bunch of errors, generalizing certain design conventions to a level of absolute rule, like "Successive approximation works by constantly (sic) comparing the input (sic) voltage to the output of an internal (sic) DAC").
