This presentation is all about Analog to digital converter. how it is perform and its functions.

1. A/D Convertor

2. Introduction
Analogue to digital converter, or A/D converter
is data converter which allows digital circuits to
interface with the real world by encoding an
analogue signal to a binary code.
So to simply put it, it converts an analogue input
like sound from a microphone into digital
sound..

3. WHY ADC IS IMPORTANT ?
 All microcontrollers store information using digital logics.
 Compress information to digital form for efficient storage.
 Medium for storing digital data is more robust.
 Digital data transfer is more efficient .
 Digital data is easily reproducible.
 Provides a link between a real world signals and data storage.

4. WorkingPrinciple
Two main steps of process
1.Sampling .
2. Quantization :-
• Resolution.

5. Sampling
• Reduction of a continuous signal to discrete signal.
• The time during which the circuit generates the sample of the
input signal is called sampling time.
• Sampling time is usually in between 1us to 14us while holding
time cam assume any value as required in the application.

6. Nyquist criteria
 The Nyquist theorem specifies that a sinusoidal function in time or distance
can be regenerated with no loss of information as long as it is sampled at a
frequency greater than or equal to twice per cycle.
 Nyquist's theorem states that a periodic signal must be sampled at more than
twice the highest frequency component of the signal.
fs>=2B

7. Quantization…
Separating the input signal into a discrete states with N
increments.
• N= 2𝑛
. N is the number of bits of the ADC.
Assigning a unique Digital code to each state for input
into the microprocessor.
:- if n=2 :𝟐𝟐 = 4
so number of level to which the signal is quantized is 4 level.

8. RSOLUTIONOF ADC:-
 The ADC resolution is defined as the smallest incremental
voltage that can be recognized and thus causes a change in
the digital output. It is expressed as the number of bits
output by the ADC.

12. CONCLUSION
This article introduces some of the basic concepts of analog and digital
signals, and their uses in electronics. There are clear advantages and
disadvantages with each technology, and knowing your application’s needs
and performance requirements will help you determine which signal(s) to
choose.
