QUESTION 1:
Which of the following options represents the fastest Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)?
A) counter-type
B) flash-type
C) successive-approximation
D) dual-slope type
Correct Answer: B
Detailed Solution:
Flash type ADC is fastest among the given ADCs
QUESTION 2:
What is the output of the following circuit for b4 = 0, b3=1, b2=1,b1=1 and Vref =15v
A) 5
B) -5
C) -13.125
D) -8.4375
Correct Answer: C
Detailed Solution:
QUESTION 3:
What is the output of the following circuit for b4 = 0, b3=1, b2=0,b1=1 and Vref =15v?
A) -9.375
B) -4.6875
C) 15
D) -15
Correct Answer: A
Detailed Solution:
What is the primary advantage of using a Mealy FSM over a Moore FSM?
A) Simplicity in design.
B) Faster response to input changes.
C) Output stability during state transitions.
D) Reduced state complexity.
Correct Answer: B
Detailed Solution:
QUESTION 5:
The figure below shows a 3-bit flash ADC circuit. What would be the encoded binary output D {D2D1D0}
when V = 8v and Vin = 4.125v?
A) 011
B) 100
C) 010
D) 110
Correct Answer: B
Detailed Solution:
Vin lies between 4 V and 5V which means output of comparator 1,2,3 and 4 would be high, rest will
be at logic 0.
Thus the input to priority encoder would be 0001111.
Thus the priority encoder output = 100
QUESTION 6:
Correct Answer: C
Detailed Solution:
R-2R ladder DAC does not need high precision resistors, but binary type DAC requires large
range of resistors.
QUESTION 7:
Correct Answer: C
Detailed Solution:
Let X is the input sequence whereas Z is the output sequence for the state machine shown
below. Which of the following options correctly describes the output Z sequence for input
sequence X given below (Assume FSM initially at state S0)
X=1001100
A) Z=1011000
B) Z=0100110
C) Z=0001000
D) Z=0000100
Correct Answer: D
Detailed Solution:
QUESTION 9:
In a 5-bit successive approximation ADC with reference voltage of 1V, if an input voltage of 0.9V
is applied, after 5 clock cycles the content of SAR is
A) 10100
B) 01100
C) 10011
D) 11100
Correct Answer: D
Detailed Solution:
Vin = 0.9 V
1st iteration: VDAC = ½ = 0.5
Vin>VDAC SAR content = 10000
A) Dual slope ADC has faster conversion time compared to successive approximation ADC
B) Dual slope ADC has slower conversion time compared to successive approximation
ADC
C) Flash type ADC expensive to design compared to dual slope ADC
D) Flash type ADC has higher resolution compared to dual slope ADC
Correct Answer: A
Detailed Solution:
QUESTION 11:
