SYLLABUS
5.3 Data Conversion L1 Analogue Data, Digital Data; Operation and application of analogue to digital, and digital to analogue converters, inputs and outputs, limitations of various types
Discrete
Digital signal in any of the given state, example either 0 or 1. It cannot have any reading in between.
Analogue to Digital
Microphone outputs to digital for storage in CD.

DIGITAL SIGNAL
Thus the more bits available the greater the resolution for a given range of analogue signal input. It can be seen from the above that an ADC using an n-bit word would have a resolution of one part in 2n
The output of the comparator will be logic 0 when the reference voltage is greater than the analogue input, It will be logic 1 when the analogue voltage is greater than the reference voltage.
