Digital-to-Analog and Analog-to-Digital Conversion in Microcontrollers

Digital-to-Analog and Analog-to-Digital Conversion in Microcontrollers

The digital-to-analog (DAC) and analog-to-digital (ADC) conversion in microcontrollers is a key technology that connects digital systems with the analog world. 1. Basic Concepts 1. DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) Function: Converts digital signals into analog signals (such as voltage or current). Application Scenarios: Driving motors, audio output, LED dimming, etc. Implementation Methods: Weighted resistor networks, R-2R … Read more

18 Yuan Type-C Wired Earphones with Built-in DAC Chip and OTA Firmware Upgrade

18 Yuan Type-C Wired Earphones with Built-in DAC Chip and OTA Firmware Upgrade

Yesterday, I wrote about a few yuan original Dao earphones (click to review), which are currently recognized as the highest cost-performance “flat-head earphones” with a 3.5mm interface suitable for old phones, old MP3 players, and other devices. However, the Type-C version is priced at nearly 20 yuan, which diminishes its cost-performance ratio.Some people asked if … Read more

Microcontroller: Choosing Between DAC and PWM for Audio Output? Test Data Reveals the Answer!

Microcontroller: Choosing Between DAC and PWM for Audio Output? Test Data Reveals the Answer!

Hello everyone, I am Xiao Chen. Today, let’s discuss a practical topic: how can microcontrollers output audio signals? Currently, there are two mainstream solutions: directly using a DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) or using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for analog output. Both methods have their pros and cons, and many beginners can easily get confused. Today, I … Read more
