An ADC, or analog to digital decoder, is used to "translate" analog signals into digital signals. An analog signal can take on any value, such as 0.1V, 0.5V, 4.12V, 5V and so on. A digital signal on the other hand can either be "high" or "low", 1 or 0. A computer can only work with digital signals, and therefore you need to convert an analog signal into a digital signal in order for the computer to be able to work with it.
This is what you do when you record sounds or music. Sound is an analog signal and had to be converted with an ADC to a digital signal before it can be used in a compter or stored on a CD.
A DAC, or digital to analog decoder is the oposite of the ADC. Here the digital signal is converted into an analog signal. This is what happens when you play music from a CD-plate. On a CD there are a number of holes, which each translates as a 0 or 1. These are read with a laser beam which is reflected back into a receiver whenever the laserbeam hits a hole. This then counts as a 1. When the disk is spinning it produces a stream of 1s and 0s, which togerther form a binary string, such as 00010111011101. The DAC then converts this value into a analogue signal, such as 1.1V, which is then used to power your speaker and produce audible sound.

What is step size of a DAC?
A: A DAC and ADC will have by design a certain assignment of bits or steps each step or bit value is dependent o the total number of bits available 12 bit dac assuming 10v reference its LSB value will be 4.08 mv minimum 10V/2048=4.08 mv 2048 is 2 raised 12 times
What are the types of ADC?
Types Of ADC Are As follows: 1.Counter type ADC 2.Successive approximation type ADC 3.Flash Type ADC 4.Wilkinson type ADC
What converts a message from digital to analog and analog to digital?
An DAC convert digital signal to analog signal i.e Digital to Analog Converter. An ADC convert analog signal to digital signal i.e Analog to Digital Converter.
What is a reference voltage of an adc?
The voltage at which the adc converts the signal.... it can also be called a limit of an ADC.
What does accuracy of a DAC mean?
Deviation of real DAC output votlage from expected DAC output voltage for particular code written to the DAC. Accuracy is mostly expressed in LSB.
What ia the applicatoin of slew rate?
A: The application is for DAC ADC converters where the fastest slew rate is desirable for fast conversion
Which device is used to convert analog signals to digital signals?
In datacommunications this is a modulator/demodulator, commonly known as a modem. In electronics a digital to analog converter (DAC) chip is used to convert digital signals to analog and an analog to digital converter (ADC) chip to convert analog signals to digital. Some chips are available which include both ADC and DAC functionality. There are thousands of different types of DAC and ADC sytems and which one to use largely depends on how fast you want to do the conversion.

What is difference between ADC 0808 and ADC 0809?
they are same expect error .in adc0809 1/2 lsb unadjusted error is present and in adc 0809 1lsb error is present.
What are the types of ADC?
Types Of ADC Are As follows: 1.Counter type ADC 2.Successive approximation type ADC 3.Flash Type ADC 4.Wilkinson type ADC
What does DAC stand for in trucking?
DAC stands for Drive-A-Check. A truck driver DAC report is comparible to a consumers credit report. DAC is operated by HireRight, formerly DAC Services and USIS
What converts a message from digital to analog and analog to digital?
An DAC convert digital signal to analog signal i.e Digital to Analog Converter. An ADC convert analog signal to digital signal i.e Analog to Digital Converter.
What is difference between DC and ADC?
Difference between DC & ADCThere is no difference between in DC and ADC both contains write copy of AD. Both can also handles FSMO roles (If transfers from DC to ADC). Functionality wise there is no difference. ADC just require for load balancing & redundancy. If two physical sites are segregated with WAN link come under same domain, better to keep one ADC in other site, and act as a main domain controller for that site. This will reduce the WAN traffic and also user authentication performance will increase.
Which path will traffic from the 172.16.1.0 24 network take to get to the 10.0.0.0 24 network?
ADC ABC It will load balance the traffic between ADC and ABC It will send the traffic via ABC, and will use ADC as a backup path only when ABC fails.
What is a reference voltage of an adc?
The voltage at which the adc converts the signal.... it can also be called a limit of an ADC.
How do you check replication between DC and aDC?
disable global catlog in dc
What does accuracy of a DAC mean?
Deviation of real DAC output votlage from expected DAC output voltage for particular code written to the DAC. Accuracy is mostly expressed in LSB.
