In analog-to-digital conversion, continuously varying functions (e.g. the output of a microphone) are transformed into digital sequences from which one then hopes to be able to reconstruct a close approximation to the original function. 8, record 1, English, - analog%2Dto%2Ddigital%20conversion
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Analogue-to-digital conversion (ADC) involves the conversion of the analogue voltage levels of an analogue signal into ones and zeros of a digital word. It is normally conducted by taking regular samples of the analogue signal and converting the voltage level into a binary value. 4, record 1, English, - analog%2Dto%2Ddigital%20conversion
