Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A 4-bit Weighted Resistor DAC requires resistors of R, R/2, R/4, and R/8 to be calculated for a specification of Vref = 5V. Determine the output voltage for the input 1101.

💡 Hint: Follow the weighted resistor formula carefully.

Challenge 2 Hard

What would be the effect on the output voltage of a Weighted Resistor DAC if one of the resistors is incorrectly valued due to manufacturing tolerance? Discuss how this impacts performance.

💡 Hint: Consider how each resistor contributes to overall voltage as you analyze the issue.
