... Summary The aim of this report is to give a summary of the experiments executed in the Electrical Laboratory, on Analogue-to-Digital (ADC) and Digital-to-Analogue (DAC) Conversion. This experiment was executed to learn the principles of Analogue and Digital and compare their measurements and performances between different converters. The initial experiments focused on Digital-to-Analogue converters. For this analysis the R/2R Ladder network was used. It is a variation of the current Summing method due to the range of values of resistors needed to convert higher order number of bits. The Analogue-to-Digital conversion was done using 2 methods, the Ramp converter and the Successive approximation ADC. Both methods were measured and compared. Fortunately, all these experiments were done using an experimental board that made all operations and settings easier to manipulate and measure. Introduction In order to execute and understand these experiments, it is essential to have a background on how converters are built and
