What is a digital ratio adapter controller?

The Digital Ratio Adapter Controller (aka. DRAC, and similar to the Vehicle Speed Sensor Buffer – VSSB) found in many General Motors vehicles from 1992+ are a good solution for obtaining a clean 5 Volt square wave signal from a VSS sensor in a noisy environment. The DRAC is contained in a small white plastic case.
