Lab 3

This document describes an experiment involving analog-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) converters. In part one, an eight-bit successive approximation ADC chip is tested by inputting analog voltages and measuring the corresponding digital outputs. In part two, two 3-bit DAC circuits are tested - a weighted resistor circuit and an R-2R ladder network circuit - by inputting binary codes and measuring the analog output voltages. The purpose is to test the functionality of the ADC and DAC converters and compare the measured outputs to predicted values.

Analog-to-Digital (A/D) & Digital-to-Analog (DAC) Converters

Introduction:
In this experiment, we use both Analog-to-Digital (A/D) and Digital-to-Analog (DAC)
Converters. In the first part, we test the functionality of the analog-to-digital (ADC)
by using ADC0808 chip, which is an eight-bit successive approximation A/D
converter using CMOS technology. While in part two, for Digital-to-Analog (DAC)
converters, we use two circuits one is the weighted-resistor and the other one is
the R-2R Ladder Network.

Components:
ADC0808 Chip
Op amp 741 (two)
Resistors: 550 Ω (eight), 4K (one), 1k (three), 2k (four)
8 LEDs, and M-M Wires, AVO
Part 1: ADC
Steps:
1. Connect your ADC as in figure Fig.2, Note VCC (Pin 11) & GND (Pin 13) are
not shown in the schematic but you need to connect them.
2. For VCC, set the power supply (Ch1) to be 5 Volt
3. For the clock pin, adjust the function generator to have AC signal with 1K
frequency and 5 Volt peak to peak.
4. Connect eight LEDs series with eight 550 Ω resistors at the output of the
chip.
5. To test the circuit’s operation, change the power supply CH2 (Which
connected to pin 26) according to table #1.
6. For each of the analog input listed in the table, first, use cross multiplication
method to predict the 8-bit digital code that should be produced, and
record the digital output code that your circuit produces.
