Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) chips transform information from analog to digital form. ADC chips receive analog input, perform calculations on the analog signal, and then digitally encode the output in a format that computerized systems can process. Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) chips are used in a variety of applications, including data-acquisition, communications, instrumentation, and signal processing. To cover a broad range of performance needs, ADCs are available in different resolutions, bandwidths, accuracies, packaging, power requirements, and temperature ranges.
