    Converter Output
AI Thread Summary
An 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) outputs one byte per conversion, representing the input voltage relative to a reference voltage. For a 5kHz input signal oscillating between 0V and a 5V reference, the output values will range from 0x00 to 0xFF. This means the ADC can produce 256 distinct values corresponding to the input waveform. The specific output values depend on the input voltage at each sampling point. Understanding this relationship is crucial for interpreting the ADC's digital output.

Can anyone give me some idea of what is a possible output of analog-digit. converter 8-bit resolution. I don't have an opportunity to plug one in, but need some sample data... Let't say input frequency is 5KHz.

Thanks!
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
The output of an 8-bit ADC is one byte per conversion period, where the byte value shows where the input voltage is with respect to the reference voltage. The relationship to the reference voltage varies with the ADC, but a typical arrangement would be for the output byte to show where the input voltage is between the reference voltage and ground.

So if you have a 5kHz input voltage that swings between a 5V reference voltage and ground, then the 8-bit output values will vary between 0x00 and 0xFF to follow that input waveform.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
