Computer Interfacing

Computer interfacing

able to the analogue controller. There are exceptions,

such as stepper motors which can generate linear or

rotary movement in direct response to a digital signal

from the computer. The principles and applications of

these are discussed later.

The two types of conversion process mentioned above

are known, respectively, as: analogue-to-digital conver-

sion, requiring the use of an analogue-to-digital converter

(ADC): and digital-to-analogue conversion, requiring the

use of a digital-to-analogue converter (DAC). There's a

number of different principles involved and, hence, a

variety of possible circuits for both types of converter ...
