A temperature sensor has an output range of 0-5V and needs to interface with a 12-bit ADC. What is the smallest change in temperature it can measure if the ADC is calibrated such that 0V represents 0°C and 5V represents 100°C?
💡 Hint: Use the relationship between voltage range and resolution to calculate the smallest measurable change.
Given a constant input signal voltage of 2.5V, predict the digital output of a flash ADC with 8-bit resolution. What happens to the output if the input voltage changes to 3.0V?
💡 Hint: Calculate the output by multiplying the input voltage proportionally against the maximum digital count.
