    1. What is the resolution of an ADC with a word length of 12 bits and an analogue
    signal input range of 100 V?
    2. A sensor gives a maximum analogue output of 5 V. What word length is required
    for an ADC if there is to be a resolution of 10 m V?
    3. An R-2R DAC ladder of resistors has its output fed through an inverting
    operational amplifier with a feedback resistance of 2R. If the reference voltage is
    5 V, determine the resolution of the converter. Number of bits is 4.
    4.

    For a binary weighted-resistor DAC, how should the values of the input
    resistances be weighted for a 4-bit DAC?

    5. What is the conversion time for a 12-bit ADC with a clock frequency of 1 MHz?
    6. In monitoring the inputs from a number of thermocouples the following sequence
    of modules is used for each thermocouple in its interface with a microprocessor
    Protection, cold junction compensation, amplification, linearization, sample and
    hold, analogue-to-digital converter, buffer, multiplexer.
    Explain the function of each of the modules.
    7.

    Suggest the modules that might be needed to interface the output of a


    microprocessor with an actuator.

    8.

    For the 4-bit weighted-resistor DAC shown in Figure 10, determine the output
    from the resistors to the amplifier for inputs of 0001, 0010, 0100 and 1000 if the
    inputs are 0 V for a logic 0 and 5 V for a logic 1. Assume feedback resistor.

    9.

    Figure 10.
    If the smallest resistor in a 16-bit weighted-resistor DAC is R, how big would
    the largest resistor need to be?

    10. A 10-bit ramp ADC has a full-scale input of 10 V. How long will it take to
    convert such a full-scale input if the clock period is 15 s?
    11. For a 12-bit ADC with full-scale input, how much faster will a successive
    approximations ADC be than a ramp ADC?
    12. a) A 4- bit successive approximation with a range 0V to 16 V has an input
    voltage of 7.5V.
    Determine the sequence of binary states for the storage register and draw the
    output signal.
