How many discrete voltage levels are used for 8 inputs DAC?
How many discrete voltage levels are used for 8 inputs DAC? Correct Answer 256
Correct answer is 'option (4)' = 256
Concept:
For an 'n' bit DAC the number of discrete voltage levels will be 2n.
Calculation:
Given, n = 8
Hence, the number of discrete voltage levels = 2n = 256.
Mistake Points
- For an 'n' bit DAC the number of discrete voltage levels will be 2n but the numbers of steps will be (2n-1).
- Example: In the above problem there are 256 different discrete voltage level but there are only 255 steps between the 0-V level and the full-scale voltage.
