A device that converts continuous signals to discrete digital numbers. It is often abbreviated as ADC, A/D, or A to D. (source)
A chip that takes an analog signal (like NTSC video) and converts it into a digital signal. These converters are used on captures cards.
An A/D (or ADC) converter is a device that converts continuous electrical signals from sensors (analog signals) to a digital form that can be handled by a computer. Used primarily for monitoring instruments or processors, or as part of a control arrangement. Compare with: digital-to-analog converter.
A device that converts a signal whose input is information in the analog form and whose output is the same information in digital form
a system that receives analog input data and produces digital values at its output. Used by the MRI scanner to convert the received signal into a format more compatible with the computer systems.
device for converting analogue signals into digital signals
A device that converts analog information (voltage, frequency, resistance, etc.) to approximate corresponding digital information.
An electronic device that converts analog signals to an equivalent digital form.
A digital electronic component that converts an electrical signal into discrete binary values.
A circuit that uses digital sampling to convert an analog signal into a digital representation of that signal.
Converts an analog signal (such as a voltage signal from a temperature sensor) into a digital signal suitable for input to a computer.
A device that converts continuously varying analog input signals into a digital bit stream. The basic unit of all digital communications is the binary digit. A bit is a "1" or "0" in a binary language. Resolution is specified by number of bits (8 bit = 28 = 256 discrete, non-continuous values). Conversion speed is specified in Mega Samples Per Second (MSPS). See A/D Converters
A device that converts an analog input voltage to a digital output word. These are also known as ADCs, and have varying degrees of input range and output resolution.
hardware component that samples voltage and digitizes the measured value
chip which converts analog video signals to digital signals. Analog-to-digital converters are used on capture cards to change the video into a format that the computer can better manipulate and store.
A circuit or hardware peripheral that converts audio from an ANALOG signal of constantly fluctuating voltages to a digital string of ones and zeros.
n. A device that converts a continuously varying (analog) signal, such as sound or voltage, from a monitoring instrument to binary code for use by a computer. Also called A-D converter. See also modem. Compare digital-to-analog converter. Acronym: ADC.
A device or circuit that outputs a binary number corresponding to an analog signal level at the input.
a circuit or hardware peripheral that converts audio signals from the analog domain into a digital form.

Electronic equipment used to change or convert an analog (waveform style) signal into a digital signal (made up of 1s and 0s).
A circuit that converts analog signal amplitudes into binary numbers.
An electronic device, often an integrated circuit, that converts an analog voltage to a digital number.
A device that converts an analog signal to a discrete series of digitally encoded numbers (signal) for computer processing.
A device that converts incoming analog signals into digital information.
A converter that changes real-world analog signals such as light and sound into digital code.
An electronic circuit that produces a digital output directly proportional to an analog signal input.
(ADC) A device that samples incoming analog voltage waveforms, rendering them as sequences of binary digital numbers. Passing waveforms through an ADC introduces quantization noise.
A circuit that converts an analog input to a corresponding digital output.& When usedinside an IEEE/ANSI symbol, indication of an AND gate or AND function.
An analog-to-digital converter (abbreviated ADC, A/D or A to D) is an electronic circuit that converts continuous signals to discrete digital numbers. The reverse operation is performed by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
