At first, I was going to write about the analog to digital converter (ADC). I decided to write about the digital to analog converter instead.
Why?
I started gathering information about ADCs. Then it hit me: digital to analog converters (or DACs) are often part of analog to digital converters.
So, the topic this time will be the types of digital to analog converters and a bit (sorry for the pun) on how they work.
This post is an introductory post, so we won’t necessarily cover every single DAC out there, nor will we go into immense detail about how the ones we do discuss work, though we will touch on the basics.
DACs are simpler than ADCs, and unlike ADCs, there are only a few practical ones in use today.
