11.3.4. ADC/DAC

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does ADC stand for?

   Hint

   Think about the conversion process.

2. 2.

   What is the main purpose of a DAC?

   Hint

   Recall the function of DAC.

3. 3.

   What is the primary function of an ADC?

   • Convert analog to digital
   • Convert digital to analog
   • Both

   Hint

   Think about the signal flow.

4. 4.

   True or False: DACs convert digital signals into analog signals.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Recall the definition of DAC.
