ADC

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.
