All types of data converters essentially perform a variation on one key role: converting analogue signals to digital data, or vice versa. We work with global brands like Texas Instruments, Microchip, Analog Devices, Cirrus Logic, ON Semiconductor, Linear Technology, Silicon Labs and Maxim to source high quality and value components for your PCB, prototyping and electronics needs.
Data converters that perform analogue-to-digital signal conversion are known as ADCs, whereas devices converting signals from digital to analogue are called DACs. Both categories cover a great many data converter architectures, for use in a huge range of electronics builds and applications. Here are some of the different types available:
Analogue Front End ICs
Audio & video ADCs and DACs, for converting a range of audio/video inputs to digital signals in applications like vibration and geographical analysis, as well as in microphone circuitry for radio, TV, telecommunications equipment and consumer devices
Audio & Video Encoders & Decoders
Audio Codec ICs
Audio Decoder ICs
Audio Encoder ICs
Video Decoder ICs
Video Encoder ICs
Video Encoder & Decoder ICs
Capacitance to Digital Converters
Data Acquisition System ICs, popular as an all-in-one signal conditioning and conversion module, for processing analogue signals detected by various sensors and transducers into digital data to be used by the host system
Digital Potentiometers or digipots, used in system calibration, process and volume control, smart actuation and voltage margining applications
Energy Measurement ICs
Resolver to Digital Converters
Sample & Hold Circuits
Sample Rate Converters, for use in broadcasting applications, audiovisual devices and high-end consumer products working with different frame rates and image scales
