* Chapter 2 Electronics Section 3 Analog-Digital Conversion Text New Words and Expressions Exercises End Extension of Word Meaning Section 3 Analog-Digital Conversion Many quantities have continuous values, including temperature, pressure, displacement, rotation, voltage, current, and intensity of light and sound. The digital representation of the values is important for digital processing and analysis, for regulation and control, and for recording and transmitting the data that quantize them. The task of quantizing the continuous values into a binary scale is called analog-to-digital conversion (ADC). Digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) is the inverse process, in which data in discrete values, Section 3 Analog-Digital Conversion are converted or restored to a continuously variable form. The clarity and fidelity of laser-read digital recordings of music and speech and the freedom of these recordings from background noise are recent advancements, but the human ear cannot convert binary data recorded on a disc to music or speech. The electronic conversion of binary data to analog signals is necessary. Some ways of sampling analog signals cannot be considered analog-to-digital conversion because the amplitude of the signal, an important aspect of the Section 3 Analog-Digital Conversion information content, is not expressed in binary form. In the straightforward sampling of a sine wave, the amplitude is an essential part of the information content. In contrast, the conversion from an analog signal to a digital signal results in a binary number at each sampling point. The transducer is the name of the device that produces a voltage or a current proportional to the physical phenomenon to which it responds. A temperature transducer, for example, can generate a voltage related to the temperature. In some cases Section 3 Analog-Digital Conversion the voltage is derived from the sensitive element in an electrical circuit, as when a t
