digital-to-analog converters

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is a device that transforms digital signals, which are made up of discrete binary data (0s and 1s), into continuous analog signals that can be understood by real-world devices like speakers or displays. Digital signals are like a series of instructions, while analog signals are smooth, continuous waves. The DAC reads the digital data and reconstructs it into a smooth waveform, allowing digital devices to produce sounds, images, or other analog outputs. This process is essential for translating digital information into usable signals for many electronic systems.
