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.
Application
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.
FAQ about Data Acquisition - Analog to Digital Converters (ADC)

1.
Why do we need analog-to-digital converters?
The reasons why we need analog-to-digital converters mainly include the following:
Digital system processing: Many computers and electronic devices are digital systems, which are more suitable for processing digital signals. Analog signals are difficult to process in digital systems, and after analog-to-digital conversion, the signals can be represented, stored and processed in digital form.
Noise immunity: Digital signals are more noise-resistant than analog signals. Digital signals can be protected and restored by means such as error correction codes, while analog signals are easily interfered by noise.
Accuracy: Digital signals are more accurate because they can be represented with higher resolution. Analog signals have accuracy limitations, and analog-to-digital conversion can improve the resolution of the signal.
Application scenarios: Analog-to-digital converters are widely used in many fields, including automatic control systems, audio and video processing, sensor interfaces

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 the input and output of an ADC?
The input of ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) is analog quantity and the output is digital quantity.
The main function of ADC is to convert continuous analog signal into discrete digital signal. In electronic systems, analog signal usually refers to continuously changing voltage or current, such as the signal obtained from microphone or sensor. The amplitude and frequency of these analog signals can change continuously, while digital signals are composed of a series of discrete values, usually expressed in binary form.
Input: The input of ADC receives analog signals, which can be in the form of continuously changing physical quantities such as voltage and current. The amplitude and frequency of analog signals can change continuously, such as the voltage range from 0V to 5V.
Output: The output of ADC is digital signal, which is composed of a series of discrete values, usually expressed in binary form. The advantage of digital signals is that they can be calculated and processed quic
