D/A-Wandler Lexikon specifications

Category : Lexicon

A digital-to-analog converter converts a digital data stream into an analog signal and is thus the counterpart to an A/D converter. In practice, there are a number of different methods, depending on the purpose:

Some of these methods are also combined with each other in order to achieve a certain compromise of conversion speed, accuracy and linearity.

D/A converters for audio or video signals are now offered as finished chips, which has greatly simplified the production of corresponding devices. As a rule, the D / A converter is installed as a component in a device. However, there are also D / A converters as an independent device, with its own housing, its own power supply, and a selection of interfaces for data input (for audio, for example, S / P-DIF).
