Converters
Electronic circuits mostly perform operations related to the processing of information from one form into another. Of course, this is a considerable simplification, but signal processing is an important issue in the field of electronics. For this purpose transducers (in certain situations also called converters) are used, which are the elements used for processing analogue and digital signals. There are many cases where it is necessary to switch from the digital domain to the analogue domain and vice versa. In such situations A/D and D/A converters are used. In this category we have prepared a wide range of transducers and converters that offer standard applications, but are also equipped with a number of additional functions. All the devices have been selected for their quality and affordable price and come from suppliers with worldwide recognition. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact our technical department. Botland employees will be more than happy to share their knowledge and experience. We are happy to help you choose the right device and advise you on any other issue.

Transmitter or converter? Nomenclature, similarities and differences
The words "transducer" and "converter", although in English they boil down to the common term "converter", in Polish technical nomenclature are used in different, usually separate contexts. The first of them is most often used to describe systems that convert analog signals into digital (A/C) or digital into analog (C/A) signals. In industrial applications, a transducer is also called a measuring system, consisting - in simple terms - of a sensor and a system that converts the signal into a useful, appropriately scaled value (digital or analog). In turn, the word "converter" is most often used in Poland to refer to logical level shifters (i.e. voltage converters) and interfaces used to connect devices equipped with various communication protocols (e.g. USB - UART converters).
A/D and D/A converters
In this category you will find a number of modules and individual integrated circuits used to convert signals from analog to digital and digital to analog. The former are particularly useful in measurement systems, automation and robotics (for operating sensors with voltage or current output) or devices for monitoring specific objects. In turn, digital-to-analog converters allow you to set specific DC voltages (e.g. to compensate for the offset of the measurement amplifier) and generate AC voltage waveforms of any shape, imposed by a control program executed by a microcontroller (or other controller that supports this type of converter). A/D and D/A converters are an indispensable element of all electronic systems working with both analog signals and digital control.
Voltage converters and digital interfaces
Our offer also includes universal voltage converters, which will be useful in electronic systems using interoperable integrated circuits and modules with different supply voltages. We have both simple converters with up to 8 channels and specialized logical level shifters dedicated to SMBus and I2C buses. In the USB - UART / RS232 / RS485 converters category you will find very useful devices and modules that allow communication between a computer and a microcontroller equipped with a UART link or devices with an RS232 serial port or an RS485 differential line, often used in the industrial and HVAC industries.
Converters - FAQ
Electronic systems perform operations related to the transformation of information from one form to another. Signal processing is an important issue in electronics - various processing converters , expanders and similar elements are used for this purpose.
Converters convert the voltage of an electrical device, usually alternating current (AC), into direct current (DC). In Botland you will find voltage converters , USB-UART converters for communication with modules and sensors, analog-to-digital converters (ADC, DAC), multiplexers for working with buses and interfaces and many other components.
