Analog-to-digital conversion is an electronic process in which a continuously variable (analog) signal is changed, without altering its essential content, into a multi-level (digital) signal. The input to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) consists of a voltage that varies among a theoretically infinite number of values. Examples are sine waves, the waveforms representing human speech, and the signals from a conventional television camera. The output of the ADC, in contrast, has defined levels or states. The number of states is almost always a power of two -- that

is, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. The simplest digital signals have only two states, and are called binary. All whole numbers can be represented in binary form as strings of ones and zeros.[5]
2. Analog to Digital Conversion Process:
Analog-to-digital conversion is a fundamental process that involves the transformation of continuous analog signals into discrete digital representations. This section provides an in-depth exploration of the key stages in the analog-to-digital conversion process, laying the groundwork for understanding its theoretical underpinnings and practical implementation.[7]

2.1 Sampling:
Sampling is the initial stage in the analog-to-digital conversion process, where continuous-time analog signals are discretized in the time domain. The analog signal is sampled at regular intervals, creating a sequence of discrete values. The choice of the sampling rate is critical and is governed by the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem to avoid aliasing effects.[6]
2.2 Quantization:
Quantization involves assigning discrete amplitude values to the sampled signal. The continuous range of amplitudes is divided into finite levels, and each sample is mapped to the nearest quantization level. The number of bits used for quantization determines the resolution of the digital signal. Higher bit resolutions result in finer quantization and improved signal fidelity.
2.3 Coding:
Coding refers to the assignment of binary codes to each quantization level, representing the discrete amplitude values. This binary representation facilitates
digital storage, transmission, and processing of the signal. The coding scheme influences the efficiency of data representation and the overall accuracy of the digitized signal.
Understanding these stages is crucial for designing effective analog-to-digital conversion systems. The subsequent sections will delve into the practical implementation of these concepts using MATLAB Simulink, demonstrating how to model and simulate the analog-to-digital conversion process in a dynamic system environment.[6]
2.4. Encoding The quantized signal is encoded into a sequence of bits (1) and (0), it is called coding.
2.5.Output Digital Signal The output of the ADC has defined states and the number of states is almost always two bits 0 and 1 which is called binary.
