adc

An ADC (Analog‑to‑Digital Converter) is an electronic device that converts continuous analog signals—such as voltage or current—into discrete digital numbers that can be processed by microcontrollers, computers, or digital signal processors. It samples the analog input at a specific rate (sampling frequency) and assigns each sample a binary value based on its amplitude, defined by the converter’s resolution (e.g., 8‑bit, 12‑bit, 16‑bit). ADCs are essential in applications like audio recording, sensor data acquisition, instrumentation, and communications. Views Nigeria
