Answer :

ADC

An analog to digital converter (ADC), converts any analog signal into quantifiable data, which makes it easier to process and store, as well as more accurate and reliable by minimizing errors.

Application - Digital multimeter, Digital oscilloscope

DAC

Digital to analog converter, converts Digital signal into equivalent analog signal, hence any analog circuit can work with digital system

Application - Microcontroller, washing machine
