Options- A. I1 = 0.416 mA, I2 = 0.416 mA
- B. I1 = 0.357 mA, I2 = 0.357 mA
- C. I1 = 1.25 mA, I2 = 0.625 mA
- D. I1 = 0.625 mA, I2 = 1.25 mA Discuss
- 5. What is the resolution of a D/A converter?
Options- A. the comparison between the actual output of the converter and its expected output
- B. the reciprocal of the number of discrete steps in the D/A output
- C. the deviation between the ideal straight-line output and the actual output of the converter
- D. the ability to resolve between forward and reverse steps when sequenced over its entire range Discuss
- 6. The practical use of binary-weighted digital-to-analog converters is limited to:
Options- A. R/2R ladder D/A converters
- B. 4-bit D/A converters
- C. 8-bit D/A converters
- D. op-amp comparators Discuss
- 7. What is the purpose of a sample-and-hold circuit?
Options- A. To keep temporary memory
- B. To hold a voltage constant so an ADC has time to produce an output
- C. To hold a voltage constant so a DAC has time to produce an output
- D. To hold data after a multiplexer has selected an output Discuss
- 8. Why is a binary-weighted DAC usually limited to 4-bit binary conversion?
Options- A. too many pins on the IC
- B. too many op amps needed
- C. too many different values of capacitors
- D. too many different values of resistors Discuss
- 9. Which of the statements below best describes the basic operation of a dual-slope A/D converter?
Options- A. The input voltage is used to set the frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The VCO quits changing frequency when the input voltage stabilizes. The frequency of the VCO, which is proportional to the analog input voltage, is measured and is displayed on the digital display as a voltage reading.
- B. A ramp generator is used to enable a counter through a comparator. When the ramp voltage equals the input voltage, the counter is latched and then reset. The counter reading is proportional to the input voltage since the ramp is changing at a constant V/second rate.
- C. A ramp voltage and analog input voltage are applied to a comparator. As the input voltage causes the integrating capacitor to charge, it will at some point equal the ramp voltage. The ramp voltage is measured and displayed on the digital panel meter.
- D. Two ramps are generated: one by the input voltage and the other by a reference voltage. The input voltage ramp charges the integrating capacitor, while the reference voltage discharges the capacitor and enables the counter until the capacitor is discharged, at which time the counter value is loaded into the output latches. Discuss
- 10. What is the maximum conversion time for a counter-ramp ADC with 8-bit resolution and a clock frequency of 20 kHz?
Options- A. 12.8 ms
- B. 6.4 ms
- C. 0.05 ms
- D. 0.4 ms Discuss
