PCM Encoder

A PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) encoder converts analog audio signals into a digital format. It samples the continuous sound wave at a regular rate, measuring its voltage levels at each sample. These measurements are then represented as binary numbers (zeros and ones), creating a digital code that accurately reflects the original sound. This process allows audio to be stored, transmitted, and processed electronically with high fidelity, making it essential for digital communication systems like phones, music streaming, and digital recording.
