  • Discuss
  • 2. A sample-and-hold circuit is used in D/A conversion.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 3. When the inputs of a four-bit D/A converter are connected to a binary up-counter, the output looks like an upward sloping line.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 4. A data acquisition system may communicate via two common buses: the data bus and the control bus.

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
  • 5. The output of an analog-to-digital converter is a voltage level.

  • Options

  • Options
  • A. True
  • B. False
  • Discuss
