Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a 4-bit successive approximation A/D converter. Describe each part of the converter and how it functions during the conversion process of a 3.75V input with a 5V reference voltage.

💡 Hint: Outline the comparisons necessary to determine the status of each bit until the input is digitized.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a successive approximation A/D converter takes 5 clock cycles to convert a signal, what is the maximum number of bits it can effectively handle?

💡 Hint: Think about one-to-one correspondence between bits and clock cycles.
