ADC
Updated: 12/26/2023 by Computer Hope
Sometimes called an A-D (analog-to-digital), ADC is short for analog-to-digital converter and is a tool or device that converts an analog signal to a multilevel digital signal without altering its content. There are four commonly used ADCs used today: the parallel converter, the successive approximation ADC, voltage-to-frequency ADC and the integrating ADC.
