Explain the working of ADC in your microcontroller

Question

Accepted Answer

ADC in a microcontroller converts analog signals into digital values for processing.

ADC stands for Analog-to-Digital Converter.
It samples and quantizes analog signals to produce digital values.
The microcontroller's ADC typically has a resolution, sampling rate, and reference voltage.
The resolution determines the number of possible digital values.
The sampling rate defines how often the ADC samples the analog signal.
The reference voltage sets the maximum voltage that can be converted.
ADC can have single-ended or differential inputs.
Single-ended inputs measure the voltage with respect to a common ground.
Differential inputs measure the voltage between two input pins.
ADC can use different conversion techniques like successive approximation or sigma-delta modulation.
The converted digital values can be used for various purposes like sensor readings, audio processing, etc.
