6 sample questions

Question 1.
What does DAC resolution refer to?
Show hintHide hint
Think of how many different things a DAC can express.
Question 2.
Define settling time in a DAC.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how long it takes for a shift in output to happen.
3Question 3.
What does higher resolution in a DAC imply?
- Less accurate output
- More discrete levels
- Slower performance
Show hintHide hint
Think about how many different outputs you get with more bits.
4Question 4.
True or False: Monotonicity ensures that the output can decrease as the input code increases.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens when you adjust the input code.
Question 5.
Consider two DACs: DAC A has 10 bits of resolution, while DAC B has 12 bits. Calculate how many levels of output each DAC can produce and discuss the implications of this difference.
Show hintHide hint
Compare how many outputs each DAC can produce using the formula for resolution.
Question 6.
If a DAC has a settling time of 5 microseconds, determine how many times it can reliably change output values in one second, and assess the significance of this in a real-world application.
Show hintHide hint
Use the formula to find how many changes can occur per second based on the settling time.
