    b) An increases in analog input
    c) An increases in digital input
    d) Decreases in analog input
    View Answer
    Answer: c
    Explanation: In a DAC, the analog input is converted into digital output. So, a monotonic DAC
    increases its analog output with increase in its digital output. For example, if the output
    decreases when input code change from 001 to 010, it is said to be a non-monotonic DAC.
    0. All the commercially available DAC are
    a) Monotonic
    b) Non-monotonic
    c) Either monotonic or non-monotonic
    d) None of the mentioned
    View Answer

    change).
