Interfacing Techniques (Conceptual)

Interfacing DACs primarily involves providing the digital input data from the microprocessor to the DAC's input pins. The two main conceptual techniques are **Parallel Interfacing**, where multiple bits are sent simultaneously via a parallel output port (like an 8255), and **Serial Interfacing**, where data is sent bit-by-bit over a serial bus using protocols like SPI or I2C. Parallel interfacing is fast but requires more pins, while serial interfacing uses fewer pins but is generally slower and more common in modern, pin-constrained systems.
