    The key takeaways are that analog to digital converters convert analog signals to digital signals and digital to analog converters perform the inverse operation of converting digital signals to analog signals. Their characteristics and functions are studied through experiments.

    An analog to digital converter (ADC) converts analog signals to digital signals by mapping continuous voltage ranges to binary numbers. It introduces quantization error. The resolution is the number of discrete values it can produce. For example, an 8-bit ADC can encode to 256 levels.

    A digital to analog converter (DAC) converts a digital code to an analog signal. It is needed to convert digital data streams back to continuous analog signals, though any errors from quantization cannot be recovered.

    THERY on ADC and DAC

    An analog-to-digital converter, or ADC as it is more commonly called, is a device that converts analog
    signals into digital signals. A/D converters are electronic circuits that have the following characteristics;

    The input to the A/D converter is a voltage.


    The output of the A/D converter is an n-bit binary signal corresponding to the voltage at the input at
    a specific instance. Therefore Analog to Digital conversion is a mapping from continuous ranges to
    binary numbers.

    The conversion involves quantization of the input, so it necessarily introduces a known amount of error,
    called quantization error or quantization noise. The resolution of the converter is the number of discrete
    values it can produce over the range of analog values. The values are usually stored electronically in binary
    form, so the resolution is usually expressed in bits. For example, an ADC with a resolution of 8 bits can
    encode an analog input to one in 256 different levels. Resolution can also be expressed in volts. In that case
    the resolution is

    Q= ,

    where Q is the resolution of ADC, is the resolution of ADC in bits, is the whole voltage range at
    the input. An example of a 3-bit ADC coding scheme with uniform quantization levels is given in the
    following figure.

    If the input signal is uniformly distributed across the input range (0.0 to 1.0 in the example) then the
    average absolute quantization error for this uniform quantizer would be Q/4.
    The inverse operation is performed by a digital-to-analog converter, or DAC. It is a device that converts a
    digital code to an analog signal. Binary data are easily stored and transmitted in digital form, but a DAC is
    needed to convert the data stream to a continuous analog signal. The quantization error introduced at the
    ADC can never be recovered via DAC.
