Analog to digital Converters (ADCs) are electronic devices used to convert continuously varying Analog signals into discrete Digital signals. This process usually includes three steps: sampling, quantization and coding. Sampling means capturing the instantaneous value of an analog signal at a fixed frequency; Quantization approximates these transient values to the nearest discrete level; Finally, the encoding converts the quantized value into binary numeric form.

ADCs（Analog-to-digital Converters） is widely used in a variety of scenarios, such as audio and video recording, measuring instruments, wireless communications, medical devices, and automotive electronics. For example, in audio devices, the ADC is responsible for converting the sound signal captured by the microphone into a digital format for easy storage and transmission.

• 1. How does ADC convert analog to digital?

  The technology that converts analog sound signals into digital signals is called analog-to-digital conversion technology (Analog to Digital Converter, referred to as ADC). The function of ADC is to convert continuously changing analog signals into discrete digital signals. The process of analog-to-digital conversion can be completed by steps such as sampling, holding, quantization, and encoding.
  
  

• 2. When is ADC used?

  ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) is widely used in a variety of scenarios, including but not limited to:
  Sensor interface: For example, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and light sensors, ADC converts analog voltages into digital signals for the use of digital thermometers, temperature control systems, barometers, air pressure sensing systems, light intensity detection and control systems.
  Audio signal processing: In microphones, ADC converts analog audio signals into digital signals for digital audio processing, recording, and playback.
  Medical equipment: Such as electrocardiograms (ECGs) and oximeters, ADC converts analog signals of ECG signals and blood oxygen saturation into digital signals for heart health monitoring and diagnosis and blood oxygen level monitoring.
  Data acquisition system: In various applications that need to collect data from analog signals, ADC is used to convert analog signals into digital signals for storage, processing, and analysis.

• 3. What is the difference between ADC and DAC?

  The main difference between ADC and DAC is that they process different types of signals and conversion directions.
  The main function of an ADC (analog-to-digital converter) is to convert analog signals into digital signals. This process involves sampling, quantization, and encoding, where sampling is the periodic measurement of the value of an analog signal at a certain sampling rate, quantization is the conversion of the sampled continuous values ​​into a finite number of discrete levels, and encoding is the conversion of the quantized discrete levels into binary code. The output of the ADC is a digital signal that can be processed and stored by a computer or other digital circuit for various applications such as digital signal processing, data logging, and communications. Common applications in life include microphones, digital thermometers, digital cameras, etc., which convert the actual perceived analog information into digital signals for further processing and analysis12.
