Option 3 : Single slope ADC

Concept:

Counter type ADC:

  • DC voltage is proportional to digital output.
  • The maximum conversion time depends on a number of bits.

Successive approximation ADC:

  • It uses the binary search algorithm.
  • Conversion time doesn’t depend on input magnitude.
  • It is suitable for serial communication.

Dual slope ADC and Single slope ADC:

  • These reduce design complexity and improves measurement quality.
  • In dual slope and single slope ADCs instead of using a DAC with a ramped output, we use an op-amp circuit called integrator to generate a sawtooth wave.
  • These are used in the precision application.

Eg: Multimeters and instruments

Dual slope ADC

The counter will be ON while discharging

Principle:

1. Charging time (T1) → VC ∝ | Vin |

2. Discharging time (T2) → count goes down VC to zero

Digital Ramp ADC:

  • At the start, the counter is cleared to 0.
  • As the counter counts up with each clock, the DAC outputs a slightly higher voltage. This voltage is compared with the input voltage by a comparator.
So we can conclude that Dual slope and Single slope, Multi slope ADCs don’t require DAC in their construction.

The question given below consists of a statement, followed by three arguments numbered I, II and III. You have to decide which of the arguments is/are ‘strong’ arguments and which is/are ‘weak’ arguments and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question. Statement: Automatic teller machines (ATMs) remain a mainstay of India’s financial inclusion drive and need the central bank’s support to stay relevant amid the government’s push for digital payments. Digital payments haven’t kept pace with the requirement for financial services in far-flung areas and a lack of ATMs there could prove disastrous for the economy.Which among the following arguments support the above statement in the best possible manner Arguments: I. There is still strong demand for cash and if banks do not invest in the ATM infrastructure, especially in rural areas, people might opt to hoard cash instead. II. To maintain a balance between the two modes of payment, there is a need to open up regulatory sandboxes for ATMs to allow manufacturers to collaborate with financial-technology startups. III. Demonetisation pulled out over 85% of the cash in circulation, forcing people to embrace digital payments. Since then, cash in circulation has reverted to its pre-demonetisation days but digital payments have come to stay. ?
