  2. Data Conversion Basically we have two types of data in nature: Analog and Digital. Data transmission – Electrical wires (for analog) and databus (for digital). Most of the real-world physical quantities are in analog form. Data storage and processing – Analog versus Digital. (That’s the idea for data conversion!!!)

  3. Data Conversion Digital data processors – Microprocessors, DSPs, FPGAs etc. So, when a data conversion needed? – When digital devices interface with analogue devices and vice versa. Can we locate a place in an airplane where digital systems interface with analogue systems? –YES !!! A most critical system – Flight Control System (FCS).

  4. FBW Flight Control System Basic components of a FBW flight control system

  6. Data Conversion Circuits Digital-to-Analog (D/A) and Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters (DAC and ADC). Application of A/D and D/A converters Today, both ADC and DAC are available in IC form.

  7. ADC and DAC Applications – digital audio recording and playback, computers, data acquisition, digital multimeter, digital control, digital signal processing, microprocessor based instrumentation. Since most of the ADCs use DACs in their inside, we have to discuss DAC first.

  8. Digital-to-Analog Converter DAC – Current or Voltage outputs (Unipolar and Bipolar), Multiplying type. DAC’s current or voltage analog output is proportional to the weighted sum of digital inputs (characteristic of a linear circuit). Schematic of a DAC

  9. Digital-to-Analog Converter For a voltage output DAC, Binary Weighted Resistor DAC R-2R Ladder DAC Types of DAC Inverted R-2R Ladder DAC In order to understand the above DACs, we have to know the basics of an Operational Amplifier

  10. Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) (a) Op-amp circuit symbol (b) Ideal op-amp (c) Open loop circuit

  11. Op-Amp – Inverting Amplifier Inverting Amplifier Inverting Summing Amplifier

  12. Binary Weighted Resistor DAC A simple binary weighted resistor DAC

  13. R-2R Ladder DAC A 3-bit R-2R Ladder DAC (Voltage mode) A 3-bit Inverted R-2R Ladder DAC (Current mode)

  14. R-2R Ladder DAC – Equation 3-bit R-2R Ladder DAC (Voltage mode)

  15. Analog-to-Digital Converter A-to-D conversion is a quantization process. ADC has two techniques of conversion Comparing a given analog signal with the internally generated equivalent signal. (Types: Successive Approximation, Counter and Flash type) Changing an analog signal into time or frequency and comparing these new parameters with known values. (Types: Integrator and Voltage-to-Frequency (V2F) converters)

  16. Successive Approximation ADC Block diagram of a 4-bit successive approximation ADC

  17. Successive Approximation ADC Flowchart of successive approximation A-to-D conversion

  18. Cycles in Successive Approximation ADC Conversion process in a successive approximation ADC
