A digital-to-analog converter converts a digital signal into an analog one, but in this case, the focus is on the opposite process: converting an analog signal to a digital one. The component in question is called an Analog to Digital Converter or ADC for short. It can be found in various devices such as computers, smartphones and other electronics. This specific ADC has 10 bits, meaning it can distinguish between different levels of the input signal with high precision. It also comes in a 28-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package, measuring approximately 11.51mm x 11.51mm in size.
