In  the structure of ASIC integrated circuits,  A/D converter is a device that converts analog signals (usually voltage) obtained from environmental (physical) phenomena into digital format. The transformation consists of a series of steps including sampling, quantization and encoding.  Complex and high-speed electrical processing is done digitally in   ASIC integrated circuitsNatural phenomena are converted into digital signals using an A/D converter for digital signal processing, then converted to analog signals through a D/A converter.

In  the structure of ASIC integrated circuits , analog to digital converter is an electronic circuit that converts continuous analog signals into digital data. All physical parameters such as temperature, light, force, pressure,  displacement and motion are analog. For processing  by  ASIC integrated circuits,  analog values ​​must be converted to  digital (0 and 1). 

In  the structure of ASIC integrated circuits,  the conversion of the  analog input voltage into a digital code corresponding to the analog voltage  is performed by this unit. Ambient temperature control, liquid level control in tanks, such as car fuel level control, weight and pressure control with  ASIC  integrated circuits  are among the most common application projects in industries using ADC / DAC (analog to digital converter) chips. Analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) are the processes that  allow digital ASIC integrated circuits to   interact with these everyday signals.  Digital information differs from its continuous analog counterpart.  It  is sampled  and  quantified  . Both of these can limit the amount of information in a digital signal.


Application-specific integrated circuits, or ASICs, as the name suggests, are non-standard integrated circuits designed for a specific use or application. Generally, an ASIC design is done for a product that has a large production run, and the ASIC may contain a large portion of the electronics required in an integrated circuit. As one might imagine, ASIC design costs are high, and so their users tend to be reserved and designed for high-volume products. Despite the cost of ASIC design, ASICs can be very cost-effective for many high-volume applications. It is possible to tailor the ASIC design to meet the exact requirement of the product, and the use of ASICs can mean that much of the overall design can be placed on an integrated circuit, significantly reducing the number of redundant components. gave As a result, they are widely used in high-volume products such as mobile phones or other similar applications, often for high-volume consumer products, or for commercial products that are widely used.
