SECTION 11Introducing an Analog-to-Digital Converter

HERE IS A PREVIEW OF SOME of the fun possibilities that can be designed with the knowledge you will learn in Part Three. You also get a reminder regarding the care and feeding of your CMOS ICs.

Lesson 37 Introducing Possibilities—Electronics That Count

The DigiDice shown in Figure L37-1 is the basic system that you will build as a prototype before you begin to design your own application.

Here, a varying analog voltage input is changed into a random number generator (see Table L37-1).

Thousands of applications and toys can be developed from these components. You’ve certainly seen some of these at the mall or casino. There are simple fortune tellers, lottery number generators, light chasers, ...
