Practical 4 Report
Introduction:
Converting Analog to Digital signals and vice versa is essential for today's technology
were pretty well everything electronic (audio, video, and data of all kinds) is processed
digitally, and needs to be converted to digital and in many cases (back?) to analog.
Of course, there are devices that allow easy transfer from/to the two what often may
seem like two different solitudes, and while the emphasis and priorities may be different,
the (electrical) rules are the same as in any electronic circuit, they need to be set up,
tested (preferably without being tortured or killed) and assessed as to be perfect, good,
merely adequate, infererior or even totally unsatisfactory.
This is what this lab session shall explore on the basis of one such device, an 8-bit
Analog to Digital Converter, type ADC0804, an integrated solution, of course. Based on
the so-called SAR (Successive Approximation Register) concept it is probably the best
compromise between performance and economics. Therefore, it is probably not a big
surprise that it has been around for a while.
Objective:
Test the operating conditions and conversion characteristics of a typical ADC, in this
case an ADC0804, 8-bit, 20-pin IC type. Refer to device data sheet for official info and
detailed manufacturer`s specifications, in particular verify signals vs pins. Then, ...
Set-up and test in both, single (manual) conversion and continuous mode, were
conversion request is retriggered automatically
Test range, accuracy and linearity by comparing the binary output (per LED-display) to
the analog input voltage applied.

Discussion:
From this practical 4 the discussion that can we make is, during the practical lab we
can't get the result. So we try assemble this practical by using Proteus 8 software. From
result in our softcopy, the LED's should display some binary number when we control
the variable resistor and see the LED should be change.
Conclusion:
What we can conclude from this practical, the result of ADC 0804 give different value
went the voltage control by variable resistor. When the voltage is 0V the binary is 000
0000 which means 0 bits and when the voltage value is increasing to 5V the binary is
1111 1111 which is 255 bits.
