Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a SAR ADC has an input voltage of 3V and a reference voltage of 5V, what digital output would it yield assuming it’s a 3-bit ADC?

💡 Hint: Find how many steps fit into the input voltage compared to the reference.

Question 2

Explain the limitations that may arise when using a low resolution in a SAR ADC. What are the implications in practical scenarios?

💡 Hint: Consider how the ADC translates voltage levels into digital light - what happens if they can only see a few levels?
