The full forms of ADC and DAC are:
- **ADC:** Analog-to-Digital Converter
- **DAC:** Digital-to-Analog Converter
**ADC** is a device that converts an analog signal (which varies continuously) into a digital signal (which has discrete values). This conversion is essential for digital processing systems to handle real-world analog signals.
**DAC** performs the reverse operation, converting a digital signal back into an analog signal. This is necessary when digital data needs to be output to analog devices like speakers or analog meters.
