A/D converter

An Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter is a device that transforms continuous electrical signals (analog) into discrete numerical values (digital). Many real-world signals, like sound or temperature, are naturally smooth and variable. The A/D converter samples these signals at regular intervals and assigns each sample a specific number, enabling computers and digital devices to process, store, and analyze the information accurately. Essentially, it bridges the gap between the real-world analog signals and digital systems, ensuring seamless communication and data handling across electronic technologies.
