Analog-to-Digital Converters

An Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is a device that transforms continuous signals—like sound, light, or temperature—into digital data that computers can process. It samples the analog signal at regular intervals and measures its strength (voltage), then represents these measurements as binary numbers (0s and 1s). This conversion allows digital devices to interpret, analyze, and store real-world information accurately. ADCs are essential in applications such as audio recording, sensors, and communication systems, bridging the gap between the physical world and digital technology.
