1. What is the main purpose of ADC?
The main purpose of ADC is to convert the input analog signal into a digital signal.
ADC, or analog-to-digital converter, is mainly used to convert continuously changing analog signals into discrete digital signals. The implementation process of ADC usually includes four steps: sampling, holding, quantization, and encoding.

2. What are DAC and ADC?
ADC and DAC are two important concepts in digital electronics. ADC stands for "analog-to-digital converter", which can convert analog signals into digital signals. DAC stands for "digital-to-analog converter", which can convert digital signals into analog signals. Both converters play an important role in many electronic products, such as mobile phones, televisions, stereos, etc.

3. What process converts analog to digital?
There are three basic processes for analog to digital conversion:
The first process is "sampling", which is to extract the sample value of the analog signal at equal intervals to turn the continuous signal into a discrete signal.
The second process is called "quantization", which is to convert the extracted sample value into the closest digital value to represent the size of the extracted sample value.
The third process is "encoding", which is to represent the quantized value with a set of binary digits. After these three processes, the digitization of the analog signal can be completed. This method is called "pulse encoding".
After the digital signal is transmitted to the receiving end, a restoration process is required, that is, the received digital signal is converted back to an analog signal so that it can be understood by the receiver. This process is called "digital-to-analog conversion", which reproduces it as sound or image. -
4. 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.
