- Question
What is the main disadvantage of the stairstep-ramp A/D converter?
Options- A. The counter must count up from zero at the beginning of each conversion sequence, and the conversion time will vary depending on the input voltage.
- B. It requires a counter.
- C. It requires a precision clock in order for the conversion to be reliable.
- D. All of the above
- Correct Answer
- The counter must count up from zero at the beginning of each conversion sequence, and the conversion time will vary depending on the input voltage.
