A(n) ____ accepts a continuous electrical signal representing sound (such as microphone input), samples it at regular intervals, and outputs a stream of bits representing the samples.
A) analog-to-digital converter
B) analog-to-digital inverter
C) analog-to-digital diverter
D) analog-to-digital parser

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a device that converts a continuous analog signal, such as sound, into a digital signal by sampling it at regular intervals and quantizing each sample into a binary representation. Therefore, it is the best choice for accurately representing the input signal in digital form. The other options, analog-to-digital inverter, diverter, and parser, do not accurately describe the function of an ADC.
