Question 10.
With a neat diagram, explain the working of 4 bit R-2R ladder network DAC.
Answer:

The ladder network has R and 2R connected as shown. The binary inputs are switches which can be connected to either V_ref = 16V (logic 1) or OV (logic 0).
The output voltage V_out is generated depending on the input voltages at the switches.
Using superposition theorem, output voltage generated for more than one switch at logic 1 is addition of voltages due to the individual switches.

The voltage developed at the output of ladder network is proportional to the binary inputs. This voltage is fed to the voltage follower circuit using op-amp and V _ut is obtained.

Question 11.
With a block diagram and waveforms, explain the working of the counting analog to digital converter.
Answer:
This type of ADC has a comparator, binary counter, DAC and AND gate.

The counter is reset to Zero count by the clear pulse. The counter counts based on number of pulses received by the clock signal. The binary output of counter is used as input to digital to analog converter, whose output is staircase waveform, is continuously compared with analog input signal by the comparator.

If analog input V_A is greater than output V₀ of DAC, the comparator produces a high signal. This makes AND gate open for transmission of clock pulses to the counter.

If DAC output exceeds the analog input V_A, the comparator generates a low signal and AND gate is disabled. This stops the counter when V_A = V₀ and the output of the counter is the digital equivalent to the analog input voltage.

Question 12.
With neat circuit diagrams and waveforms explain the applications of a comparator.
Answer:
The two applications of comparator are Zero crossing detector.

A time-varying signal is applied to the non-inverting terminal, and inverting terminal is grounded.
If V_in > 0,V₀ = + V_sat
If V_in < 0,V₀ = + V_sat
Every time Vin crosses Zero level, V switches its state. Hence it is called Zero crossing detector. It is also used to convert a sine waveform to a square waveform. Input and output waveforms of Zero crossing detector.

2. Schmitt Trigger


The reference voltage V_ref is a fraction of the output voltage which id feedback to
non – inventing terminal
If V_in >V_ref,V₀ = + V_sat
If V_in < V_ref,V₀ = + V_sat
This circuit does not respond to triggering due to the noise. Schmitt trigger can be used to convert any periodically varying signal into a square wave.
