computer science - representing data (analogue and digital)

Analogue Data

Analogue Data: Continuous information represented by a smooth curve, such as sound waves or temperature readings, without discrete values.

Digital Data

Digital Data: Information stored in a digital format, represented by binary digits (0s and 1s), enabling electronic processing and transmission.

ADC

ADC stands for Analog-to-Digital Converter. It is a device that converts analog signals into digital signals for processing in digital systems.

DAC

DAC stands for Digital-to-Analog Converter. It converts digital signals into analog signals for devices like speakers to produce sound.
