Figure 1. Analog-to-Digital Conversion

That's about five billion bits per hour, which is why you'll need at least an 800 Megabyte hard disk to record an hour of compact disk quality music.

To visualize the analog-to-digital conversion process, refer to Fig- ure 1. At the top is one cycle of an analog input signal wave. We've used a simple sine wave to make visualization easier. In this example, the signal has a peak-to-peak amplitude of 20 units, measured by the scale on the left. The sampling frequency is many times higher than the signal being sampled and is shown along the bottom of Figure 1. Once for each cycle of the sampling frequency, the sample-and-hold circuit "slices" the input signal, allowing the quantizing circuit to generate a (digital) number equal to the closest (of the 65,536 possible discrete values) quantization value of the input signal at the time the sample is taken. This re- peats for each successive cycle of the sampling frequency and
