Analogue and Digital Converters

An A/D converter transforms analog signals from physical phenomena into digital format through sampling, quantization, and coding, while a D/A converter reverses this process. These converters are essential for digital signal processing in various applications, including digital audio, video, and scientific instruments. High-speed processing is performed digitally in CPUs and DSPs, enabling the conversion of natural phenomena to digital signals and back to analog.

ANALOGUE AND DIGITAL CONVERTERS

An A/D converter is a device that converts analog signals (usually voltage) obtained from
environmental (physical) phenomena into digital format

Conversion involves a series of steps, including sampling, quantization, and coding.

A/D and D/A Requirements


Electrically sophisticated and high-speed processing are performed digitally
in CPUs and DSPs.

Natural phenomena are converted to digital signals using an A/D converter


for digital signal processing, then converted back to analog signals via a D/A
converter.

A/D Converter Applications


Digital Audio:
Digital audio workstations, sound recording, pulse-code modulation

Digital signal processing:


TV tuner cards, microcontrollers, digital storage oscilloscopes

Scientific instruments:
Digital imaging systems, radar systems, temperature sensors

D/A Converter Applications


Digital Audio：
CD, MD, 1-bit Audio

Digital Video：
DVD, Digital Still Camera

Communication Equipment：
Smartphones, FAX, ADSl equipment

PCs：
Audio, video cards
