digital sensors
Data-capturing electronic components
Digital sensors are devices that detect physical phenomena—light, temperature, pressure, motion—and convert them into digital signals that computers can process.
Unlike analog sensors that output continuous electrical signals, digital sensors produce discrete numerical data: The camera's digital sensor captures 50 megapixels.
They're ubiquitous in modern electronics, from smartphone accelerometers to industrial monitoring equipment.
