  • 1. When comparing the conversions from digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital, the A/D conversion is generally:

  • Options
  • A. less complicated but more time consuming than the D/A conversion.
  • B. more complicated and more time consuming than the D/A conversion.
  • C. less complicated and less time consuming than the D/A conversion.
  • D. more complicated but less time consuming than the D/A conversion.
  • Discuss
  • 2. What is the acquisition time of the AD1154 sample-and-hold IC?

  • Options
  • A. 1.5 µs
