Question 1.
Define resolution in the context of ADCs.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how many distinct values a digital signal can represent.
Question 2.
What is SNR?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how noise affects the quality of a signal.
3Question 3.
What does SNR stand for?
- Signal-Noise Ratio
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio
- Sound-to-Noise Ratio
Show hintHide hint
It's a metric commonly used to assess signal clarity.
4Question 4.
True or False: A higher resolution leads to a higher number of discrete levels in ADC output.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how bits relate to levels.
Question 5.
You have a 12-bit ADC. What’s the total number of discrete levels it can output? If the reference voltage is 3V, what’s the resolution in volts?
Show hintHide hint
Remember the formula for levels and resolution.
Question 6.
Discuss the trade-offs devices face when selecting an ADC for portable applications requiring low power and high performance. What metrics are most critical to balance?
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on application needs and how they drive design choices.
