Abstract
Analog-to-digital (A/D) converters (ADCs) are used to transform continuous-time (analog) signals (typically voltages) to digital data (numbers) which can then be easily processed, stored, and/or transmitted digitally. Digital-to-analog (D/A) converters (DACs) transform digital numbers to equivalent analog signals. A/D and D/A converters, called data converters, link analog (physical) signals and digital devices and computers.
