Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a simple embedded system that uses an ADC to measure temperature from an LM35 sensor. Describe how to calculate the resolution needed for your application.

💡 Hint: Refer to the ADC specifications and consider the bit level needed for precision.

Challenge 2 Hard

A sensor outputs analog voltage shifting rapidly at 100Hz. What sampling rate would you set for an ADC to ensure accurate readings? Explain why.

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between sampling frequency and the maximum signal frequency.
