Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a Single-Slope ADC with a ramp rate of 0.5V/ms. If the maximum analog input voltage is 3V, how long will it take for the ramp voltage to reach the analog input level?

💡 Hint: Use the formula for ramp time: time = voltage / ramp rate.

Challenge 2 Hard

Optimize a Single-Slope ADC for a situation requiring a faster conversion time. What modifications to the ramp generator would you recommend?

💡 Hint: Think about ensuring a steeper slope in ramp generation.
