Data Converter Global Market Report 2025

A data converter is an electronic circuit that transforms signals between analog and digital formats, enabling compatibility between different systems. In the context of temporal software development kits (SDKs), a data converter serves as a component that encodes and decodes data as it flows into and out of a temporal server, facilitating seamless data management and processing.

Data converters primarily consist of two main types such as analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Digital-to-analog converters function as electric circuits that receive digital data essentially a stream of numbers-and generate an output of voltage or current proportional to the digital data's value. The sampling rates for these converters are classified into high-speed data converters and general-purpose data converters, with major rate types falling within ranges such as 1 GSPS to 5 GSPS and 5 GSPS to 20 GSPS. These converters find applications across diverse segments such as communications, automotive technology, consumer electronics, industrial process control and automation, medical devices, testing and measurement equipment, and various other industries requiring data conversion capabilities.
