Tiivistelmä
The goal of this report is to review different types of electronic data converters developed till now. The report also goes through working and characteristics of those converters in brief. To support the review, a demonstration of data converter is also included.
The digital world we are now living on stands on the foundation of data converters. Almost every device we use relies on data converters which work in different environment from space to underwater. This has been possible with coherent development of digital to analog converters that helps visualize the unseen world around us or existing’s in a different angle. The communication sector, embedded systems, instrumentation widely depends on the data converters. Different applications require different converters like one used inside earth environment might not be feasible for space exploration. Performance, resolution, bandwidth, quantization noise, interference, manufacturing cost are the important parameters to deal with. Different converters have different characteristics and all of them have been there to fulfill our needs.
To show the working of converters, demonstration is done using easily available components to show the whole cycle of data conversion i.e., from analog to digital signal and vice-versa. A microcontroller is used to assist signaling and work as processor to relay information to and from data converter chips. All this has been carried out in simulation software and additionally circuit board is also designed.
Finally, what we see is that devices we are surrounded with like the mobile phones, smart watches, television, washing machines and even space rovers are equipped with data converters that helps to perceive natural sensations. With this it is evident that data converter technology is a very important aspect of digital world and further development, and research will continue to improve and expand the application of data converters.
