lcamtuf’s thing discuss digital-to-analog (DAC) and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) techniques:
…microcontrollers are eating the world. Even for rudimentary tasks, such as blinking a LED, a microcontroller is now cheaper and simpler to use than an oscillator circuit built with discrete components — or implemented using the once-ubiquitous 555 timer chip.
But in this increasingly software-defined world, zeroes and ones don’t always cut it. I In the end, almost every non-trivial digital circuit needs specialized digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters to interface with the physical world. These devices are often baked onto the die of the microcontroller, but they are still worth learning about.
