Converter

[AND_ECE]

hi all... can you give me a idea to build a ADC converter? and what ,mostly the application of the ADC converter cos i dont have idea of that converter

An ADC will convert an analogue signal to a digital representation of the signal.

An example of an analogue sample would be 0.........5V

An example of a digital representation of the above would be 0.......1023 (10 bit value, so the number 511 would equal 2.5V)

Building an ADC from scratch is much harder then a DAC, can you just use an IC made for the job?

BTW - what are you interfacing the digital side of things with?
