Chris you are extremely confused.

It doesn't confuse me at all. You've given a number of reasons why bit
depth has to restrict dynamic range because the current accepted
relationships between bit depth and dynamic range can't be changed
without making other important things a lot worse. I don't disagree
with any of that. What I'm pointing out is that it's the optimal point
in an engineering compromise, not a fundamental scientific
principle. It's the difference between practical and theoretical
possibilities.
If the technology changes, the optimal compromise might change.

But you can't get past the fact that a 1 bit ADC will have
a dynamic range of 6.02 + 1.72 dB.

This last statement is enough to write you off, totally.

Who cares whether one can find it on Internet or not? It is true.
With a good enough 1-bit sensor, and the constant input signal
dithered by large enough noise (with known characteristics), one can
get arbitrarily high bit depth by stacking.
Hope this helps,

LOL! This depends only on your definition of dynamic range.
When one can measure the signal with arbitrary precision, what you
would think about a "dynamic range" of such a measurement?
Yours,
Ilya
P.S. Let me reiterate that using dB in context of photo sensors makes
very little sense. As you can see in this thread, it leads to
nothing else but confusiton... >> Stay informed about: 25 MP sensor of Sony |
