Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) convert continuous analog signals into digital formats through sampling, quantization, and encoding, with applications in medical, telecommunications, and audio fields. Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) perform the reverse process, reconstructing binary data into analog signals for use in audio, displays, and industrial applications. Both ADCs and DACs are essential for modern technologies, facilitating the interaction between the analog and digital worlds.

ADCs convert continuous analog signals (e.g., sound or temperature) into digital formats, while
DACs do the reverse, turning digital data into analog signals. These processes enable interaction
between the real world and digital systems.

Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC)

How ADC’s work

1. Sampling: Captures the analog signal at intervals.


2. Quantization: Divides the signal into discrete levels.
3. Encoding: Converts these levels into binary data.

Applications:

•Medical: ECG machines digitize bio-signals.

•Telecommunications: Phones transmit voice as digital signals.

•Audio: Microphones convert sound to digital formats.

Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC)

How DACs Work

1. Reconstruction: Transforms binary data into analog steps.


2. Smoothing: Creates a continuous analog waveform.

Applications:

•Audio: DACs in headphones produce sound from digital files.

•Displays: Convert digital video to visible images.

•Industry: Control analog processes with precision.

Key Points

•ADCs focus on sampling rate and resolution for accuracy.

•DACs emphasize bit depth and speed for quality.


•They enable modern technologies like audio systems, video displays, and IoT devices.

ADCs and DACs connect the analog world to the digital one, powering many technologies we
rely on daily.
