adc

An ADC (Analog‑to‑Digital Converter) is an electronic device that transforms continuous analog signals—such as voltage or current—into discrete digital numbers that can be processed, stored, or transmitted by digital systems. It samples the input signal at a specific rate and assigns each sample a binary value based on its amplitude, defined by the converter’s resolution (bits) and sampling speed. ADCs are essential in audio/video equipment, sensors, instrumentation, and any application where real‑world analog information must be handled by computers or microcontrollers. Views Nigeria
