What does higher resolution in a DAC imply?
💡 Hint: Think about how many different outputs you get with more bits.
True or False: Monotonicity ensures that the output can decrease as the input code increases.
💡 Hint: Consider what happens when you adjust the input code.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider two DACs: DAC A has 10 bits of resolution, while DAC B has 12 bits. Calculate how many levels of output each DAC can produce and discuss the implications of this difference.
💡 Hint: Compare how many outputs each DAC can produce using the formula for resolution.
If a DAC has a settling time of 5 microseconds, determine how many times it can reliably change output values in one second, and assess the significance of this in a real-world application.
💡 Hint: Use the formula to find how many changes can occur per second based on the settling time.
