Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a D/A converter that gives an output of 5V for a digital input of 255 but has a gain error of ±0.2%. Calculate the range of possible actual outputs.

💡 Hint: To solve this, calculate 0.2% of the full-scale output.

Challenge 2 Hard

A D/A converter experiences drift that gradually affects its output over a month. How would you propose measuring or compensating for this drift in long-term applications?

💡 Hint: Think about how operating conditions can alter performance.
