a/d = analogue to digital therefore to convert analogue to digital  one would sample the analogue signal a given number of times each time a sample is taken
a digital byte is recorded represented by ones and zero's depending on the resolution this word could be 8 bits or 14 bits etc long this would then be supplied at the output either parrallel or serial.

pwm=pulse width modulation this would be an output from say a microprocessor

where a square wave is generated with a varying on time and a varying off time but the amplitude of the wave remains the sames
