DACs can accurately reconstruct sampled data into analog signals. Digital data can be generated by microprocessors, Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), or Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), but the final data needs to be converted to an analog signal in order to interact with the real world.

Digital to Analogue Converters (DAC)

A digital-to-analogue converter, or D/A converter, or DAC for short, is a device that converts digital data into an analogue signal. According to the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, any sampled data can be perfectly reconstructed by means of the bandwidth and Nyquist criteria.
