  2. Digital-to-analog converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital-to-analog_converter

    An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) performs the reverse function. There are several DAC architectures; the suitability of a DAC for a particular application is determined by figures of merit including: resolution, maximum sampling frequency and others. Digital-to-analog conversion can degrade a signal, so a DAC should be specified that has ...

  3. Successive-approximation ADC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive-approximation_ADC

    Counter type ADC: The D to A converter can be easily turned around to provide the inverse function A to D conversion. The principle is to adjust the DAC's input code until the DAC's output comes within ± 1 ⁄ 2 LSB to the analog input which is to be converted to binary digital form. Servo tracking ADC: It is an improved version of a counting ...

  4. Zero-order hold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-order_hold

    The zero-order hold (ZOH) is a mathematical model of the practical signal reconstruction done by a conventional digital-to-analog converter (DAC). [1] That is, it describes the effect of converting a discrete-time signal to a continuous-time signal by holding each sample value for one sample interval. It has several applications in electrical ...

  5. Resistor ladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor_ladder

    Each tap of the string generates a different voltage, which can be compared with another voltage: this is the basic principle of a flash ADC (analog-to-digital converter). The main disadvantage is that this architecture requires 2 n {\displaystyle 2^{n}} comparators, one for each resistor; and this number cannot be reduced by using an R-2R ...

  6. 1-bit DAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-bit_DAC

    A 1-bit DAC (sometimes called Bitstream converter by Philips) is a consumer electronics marketing term describing an oversampling digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that uses a digital noise shaping delta-sigma modulator operating at many multiples of the sampling frequency that outputs to an actual 1-bit DAC (which could be fully differential to minimize crosstalk). [1]

  7. Analog-to-digital converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog-to-digital_converter

    ADCs are required in digital signal processing systems that process, store, or transport virtually any analog signal in digital form. TV tuner cards, for example, use fast video analog-to-digital converters. Slow on-chip 8-, 10-, 12-, or 16-bit analog-to-digital converters are common in microcontrollers.

  8. Delta modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_modulation

    A single digital-to-analog converter (DAC) was shared by all six ports providing voltage compare functions for the modulators and feeding sample and hold circuits for the demodulator outputs. A single card held the chip, DAC and all the analog circuits for the phone line interface including transformers.

  9. Digital recording - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_recording

    Recording. The analog signal is transmitted from the input device to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).; The ADC converts this signal by repeatedly measuring the momentary level of the analog (audio) wave and then assigning a binary number with a given quantity of bits (word length) to each measurement point.
