SUMMARY
The output of an 8-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) at a 5KHz input frequency produces one byte per conversion period, representing the input voltage relative to the reference voltage. For a typical setup with a 5V reference voltage, the output values will range from 0x00 to 0xFF, indicating the voltage levels between ground and the reference voltage. This output format allows for precise digital representation of the analog signal within the specified range.
