Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does a successive approximation A/D converter primarily do?

  • Sets all bits at once
  • Approximates the input signal one bit at a time
  • Only works with analog inputs

💡 Hint: Think about the method of setting bits in this kind of converter.

Question 2

True or False: A counter-type A/D converter requires fewer clock cycles than a successive approximation A/D converter.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between cycles and the number of bits.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
