    Study Notes

    Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

    • An ADC converts analog signals to digital signals that can be processed by digital circuits and computers.
    • The digital output of an ADC is typically represented as a binary code.

    Implementation of ADCs

    • Most ADCs are implemented as integrated circuits (ICs) due to their compact size, low power consumption, and high speed.

    Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)

    • A DAC converts digital signals to analog signals.

    Structures in C

    Defining a Union in C

    • A union is a special data type that allows storing different types of data in the same memory location.
    • Defining a union in C differs from defining a structure in that a union uses the same memory location for all members, whereas a structure allocates separate memory for each member.

    The Struct Statement in C

    • The struct statement defines a new data type that allows combining multiple variables of different data types into a single unit.

    Advantages of Unions in C

    • The primary advantage of using unions in C is efficient memory utilization, as they can store different types of data in the same memory location.
