helloo every one i have a question: can an inductor and capacitor in series convert a low frequency digital signal to an analog signal. let say the the frequency is 50hz and the value of the inductor and the capacitor are 1uH and 3300uF respectively.

 

Hello,

A digital signal can not be converted to analog just by using a inductor and a capacitor.
A digital signal is composed of bits that reprecent the analog value.
When you give this value to a digital/analog convertor the analog signal will apear at the output of this convertor.
On this page on the EDUCYPEDIA there are links to pages and documents about A/D convertors.

Actually Bertus, that's not quite correct.

You can turn a square wave into a pretty decent sine wave by using a low-pass filter. The reason is because a perfect square wave is the sum of all the odd harmonics of a fundamental frequency.

If you run a perfect square wave through a perfect low-pass filter that removes all of the harmonics that are higher than the fundamental, you wind up with a perfect sine wave. Of course, nothing in the real world is perfect. However, you can wind up with a reasonably decent representation of a sine wave.

You're not going to wind up with a great sine wave using a two-pole filter, but it'll make a start.

See the attached analysis. Note the passband and stopband. You're -1dB down at 50Hz, and -3dB at 100Hz. If you added another stage like that, you'd be -2dB at 50Hz, and -6dB at 100Hz.

You can see what sgtwookie is refering to by checking out this link to the section in the AAC ebook on squarewave's constituient components.
