How Do ADCs Work? - The Learning Circuit

Ғылым және технология

We live in an analog world, but our computers and electronics need to translate signals into binary in order to process them. In order to interpret analog signals from various sensors and inputs, processors use ADCs to convert them to digital signals. Watch along as Karen explains in-depth how ADCs work in various ways to convert analog signals into binary, digital signals: bit.ly/3xMccbN

    So the bits are used for the value and the sample rate for accuracy over time; but how are the frequencies converted? Is there one sample for 20 Hz and then another sample for 21 Hz and so on, to re-create the complexity of the music signal?

  • @ChezGuevara1

    Bottom line is there is a lot of information to relate. Perhaps divide into very small sections each covered in simple terms and at a reasonable speed. Obviously there are tons of ways nowadays to digitize an analog signal. Some are more preferred than others but the key here is the listener only needs to know what is analog, what is it for, an example. Then what is digital, why do I want to digitize a signal and why use one method over the others. Keeping focus on using the simplest language. Thanks a million

    Hey there! I came across this video in search for more understanding of bit depth. I'm a learning audio engineer and my teacher was telling me that in A/D conversion, more bit depth increases the dynamic range due to less equalization noise being added. However, he said that more bit depth doesn't equal more definition or more available bits to be used in a specific deciBel. It confused me a lot and I'm in need for an answer. Does a bigger bit depth increase definition/ provide more accurate readings of an analog signal in a specific sample?

    First ADC, what I assembled, back in days, was created with opamp, who converted audio input in PWM signal.. Then firmware measured time between each period. Second ADC I assembled from two CD4049 IC's. First one IC did all job, using resistor feedback network to next element, second one was as buffer for digital output. Still have next version - AD7581 IC's analog manufactured 1992 in Riga. That ADC working in my DIY stereo system for audio capture from multiple channels for level displaying.. Some time ago, that system has an output for disco lights, using same base data. Removed when previous MCU run out of space. Updated MCU, updated system buses and I didn't put Disco lights output back.. I don't use Arduino, I'm using Atmel MCU's directly, by now, more than 20 years.. 😂

    Would you say that an airplane ACE (actuator control electronics) works much this way. When a pilot moves a control the analog signal goes to an ACE, then the digital signal goes to a PFC (primary flight control computer) giving an appropriate command in digital back to the ACE. The ACE converts it back to analog to move a control surface. FYI: This is the fly-by-wire flight control system of a B777.

    A few old ADCs, but most modern ADC chips would use an i2c interface. The ADCs built into most microcontrollers are actually pretty rubbish, so it's very common to use an external one on an i2c connection. I built a project using an ADS1115 once - the sample rate is poor, but it can do differential measurements, the resolution is far superior to an atmega, and it has a built-in programmable amplifier that lets you do very precise measurements of tiny voltage differences. I used it to make a curve tracer for measuring the properties of diodes and transistors, as a way to detect the many fake parts you get buying on eBay.

    ADC0804, ADC0808 were very popular IC's, back in day's. ADC can be assembled from few hex inverter IC's too. I did it long time ago for one project. 2 cheap IC's, bunch of resistors and 5 bit resolution at the output.. Only, how I remember, I didn't use 74 series but CMOS IC's - CD4049..

  • @vylbird8014

    @vylbird8014

    3 жыл бұрын

    Surprisingly easily. Two common ways. 1. Generate a PWM signal using an all-digital counter circuit, then filter this using a simple RC filter circuit (often external) and buffer. This is how arduino and Raspberry Pi audio work. 2. A line of resistors, connected to each bit and values carefully chosen so that each contributes exactly the right amount to the output voltage. More expensive to fabricate, but much higher bandwidth.

    Common enough that you can get single-chip solutions that do the whole process from reading the bitstream straight from the laser right to outputting audio ready to feed into an amplifier. Though they are not easily available, as they are usually a custom order for a specific manufacturer.
