In A/D converter the analog signal is converted into equivalent digital signal. When it is necessary to process the physical phenomenon, to store or to display, the data should be in the digital form only. So it is first to convert the analog into digital form. So A/D converts are used in digital processing equipment, computer, communication, instrumentation and process control, etc.

1. 2. Decoder circuit also becomes complicates when the
number of bits increases.
Number of comparators increase rapidly with increase in number of bits.
Output of the comparator is one input of the AND gate. To other input of the AND gate clock pulses are applied. When the output of comparator is HIGH, AND gate is enabled and clock pulses are available at the output of the AND gate. This clock pulses are given to the counter. When the output of comparator is LOW, AND gate is disabled and clock pulses are not available at the output of the AND gate counting stops.
The analog voltage Va to be converted is give to non inverting input of the comparator. Reset pulse is given to the counter and counter resets.
Clock pulses are given to the other input of the AND gate.
Output of AND gate is given to N-bit binary counter. The time when the ramp voltage begins output Vc of the comparator becomes HIGH. So the AND gate is enabled.
When the value Vo of the ramp voltage becomes equal to the analog voltage Va output of the comparator becomes LOW.
So the AND gate is disabled and pulses reaching to the counter stop.
If the value of the analog voltage Va is less, pulse width becomes less and when its value is more, pulse width is more. And accordingly the digital output becomes less or more.

1. This Method is very simple. 2. It can be realised by using less number of components. 3. Waveform of the pulse width can be transmited through
long line.
