Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A D/A converter has an NL of 0.5% across a 10V range. Calculate the maximum output deviation possible and discuss its implications.

💡 Hint: Consider how percentages relate to voltage outputs.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a 12-bit D/A converter with a DNL of 1.5 LSB. If the full-scale output is 5V, what impact does the DNL have on the output for a digital input of 4095?

💡 Hint: Analyze how step size interacts with the given digital input.
