An ADC or analog-to-digital converter or A-to-D or A/D in electronics is a system that changes the signal from an analog to a digital signal without changing its necessary content. An analog signal is a continuous signal in terms of both amplitude & time whereas a digital signal is discrete in terms of both time & amplitude. There are multiple ADC architectures but the most particular ADCs are implemented as ICs because of the complexity & the need for accurately matched components. … [Read more...]
