This document presents information on analog to digital converters (ADCs). It defines an ADC as a device that converts continuous analog signals to discrete digital signals. The conversion process involves sampling the analog signal at regular time intervals, quantifying the signal levels into discrete steps, and coding the samples with a binary word. Accuracy can be improved by increasing the sampling rate and resolution. Common types of ADCs include flash, sigma-delta, dual slope, and successive approximation converters. Applications where ADCs are used include microphones, thermocouples, voltmeters, and digital multimeters.
