22. ADC An analog-to-digital converter (ADC, A/D or A2D) converts an analog signal to a digital signal, and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC, D/A or D2A) does the opposite. Such conversions are necessary because, while embedded systems deal with digital values, an embedded system’s surroundings typically involve many analog signals. 22

28. UART A UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) receives serial data and stores it as parallel data (usually one byte), and takes parallel data and transmits it as serial data Require creating a routine to send data serially over an I/O port, making use of a timer to control the rate. It would also require using an interrupt service routine to capture serial data coming from another I/O port whenever such data begins arriving. 28

29. What is wrong with serial port? Because serial ports are asynchronous (no clock data is transmitted), devices using them must agree ahead of time on a data rate. Because serial ports are asynchronous (no clock data is transmitted), devices using them must agree ahead of time on a data rate. Asynchronous serial ports require hardware overhead–the UART at either end is relatively. Asynchronous serial ports require hardware overhead–the UART at either end is relatively. Another core fault in asynchronous serial ports is that they are inherently suited to communications between two, and only two, devices Another core fault in asynchronous serial ports is that they are inherently suited to communications between two, and only two, devices 29

There is some overhead with I 2 C; for every 8 bits of data to be sent, one extra bit of meta data (the “ACK/NACK” bit) must be transmitted.

44. Analog Comparator An analog comparator is a device that compares two (2) analog values and indicate which is greater. In electronics it is basically an amplifier without feedback and thus very high gain, as shown below. When the positive input (+) is greater the output voltage is saturated to its positive supply (logic 1), otherwise the output is saturated to is negative supply ( logic 0).
