ABCs of ADCs (Analog to Digital Converter Basics) - Nicholas Gray, National Semiconductor.


Because the Analog-to-Digital Converter (A/D Converter or ADC) has both analog and digital functions, it is a mixed-signal device. Many of us consider the ADC to be a mysterious device.

It can, however, be considered very simply to be the instrument that it is: a device that
provides an output that digitally represents the input voltage or current level.
Notice I said voltage or current. Most ADCs convert an input voltage to a digital word, but the true definition of an ADC does include the possibility of an input current.

An Introduction to Compressed Audio with Ogg Vorbis - by Graham Mitchell .


This document is an introduction to compressed audio. It covers the basics of sound waves, how audio is stored digitally, why compressed audio is necessary, the basics of lossy audio compression, and why Ogg Vorbis is a good choice for compressed audio.

Compression is the technique of making a file take up less space while still containing the same information. There are two categories of compression: lossless and lossy.
