Introduction to ADC
• • An ADC converts an analog signal into a
digital signal.
• • Used in digital devices to process real-world
signals.
• • Commonly found in microcontrollers,
sensors, and communication systems.

value to each sampled point.
• • Encoding: Converting quantized values into a
binary format.
Types of ADCs
• 1. Flash ADC (Parallel ADC) - Fastest but costly.
• 2. Successive Approximation Register (SAR)
ADC - Most widely used.
