9.8|Interfacing an Analog to Digital Converter to the 8086
Real world applications use sensors to get a signal voltage. For example, for measuring a
temperature, a thermocouple may be the sensor used. is gives an analog voltage correspond-
ing to the temperature value. Various other sensors measure quantities like humidity and
speed, and give the measured values as analog voltages. To use these values in a computer,
these voltages have to be converted to digital numbers. is is the function of an analog to
digital converter. ere are various methods employed in this conversion, which you might
have learned ...
