Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A Single-Slope ADC with a ramp generator slope of 0.5V/ms and maximum V_FS of 5V processes an input of 2V. How long will it take to reach this input voltage?

💡 Hint: Calculate time using the voltage change rate.

Challenge 2 Hard

If the ramp generator uses resistors with a tolerance of ±5%, discuss how this might impact the ADC conversion accuracy.

💡 Hint: Consider how tolerances impact the circuit's response over time.
