Digital circuits miscellaneous

  1. A sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit, having a holding capacitor of 0.1 nF, is used at the input of an ADC (analog-to-digital converter). The conversion time of the ADC is 1 μsec, and during this time, the capacitor should not lose more than 0.5% of the charge put across it during the sampling time. The maximum value of the input signal to the S/ H circuit is 5V. The leakage current of the S/H circuit should be less than _____________μA

  1. A 5 bit D/A converter has a current output for a digital input of 10100. If an output current of 10 m A is produced, what will Iout be for a digital input of 11101?

    The digital input 10100 is the binary equivalent of 2010.
    Since, Iout = 10mA, for this case proportionating factor is 0.5
    i.e. I out = 0.5 × binary value.
    Thus, binary input 11101 is equivalent ot 2910,
    ∴ Iout = 0.5 × 29 = 14.5 mA.

    A 10 bit convertor has a quantization error of

    =
    1
    =
    1
    = 0.1 %
    1024210

    If an analog portion can be constructed to an accuracy of 0.1%, it would seen reasonable to strive for an overall accuracy of 0.2%.

    Correct Option: B

  1. For a MOD-12 counter, FF hasa tpd = 60 ns. NAND gate has a tpd of 25 ns. The clock frequency is









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    For proper functioning, clock period should be equal to or greater than all the tpd
    MOD – 12 – 4 FFs = 4 × 60 = 240 ns.
    tpd = 25 ns.
    ∴ Total tpd = 265 ns
    ƒc = 3.774 MHz
