3.5.6.3 Analogue/Digital Conversion.

Question 1

What does DAC stand for?

Answer 1

Digital to analogue converter.

Question 2

What is DAC?

Answer 2

A device used to convert digital signals to analogue data.

Question 3

Describe the principles of operation of a digital to analogue converter (DAC).

Answer 3

A digital signal is converted into an electrical signal which is then passes through an amplifier, creating an analogue signal. Commonly used to convert a digital audio signal to an analogue signal.

Question 4

Describe the principles of operation of an analogue to digital converter (ADC)

Answer 4

A microphone converts the sound energy into electrical energy. The ADC samples the analogue data at a given frequency, measures the amplitude of the wave at each point and converts it into a binary value using the resolution of each sample

Question 5

What does ADC mean?

Answer 5

Analogue to digital converter.
