Question

Consider ab N-bit DAC whose output varies from 0 to VFS (where the subscript FS denotes "full scale").

(a) Show that a change in the least significant bit (LSB) induces a change of VFS/(2N-1) in the output.This is the resolution of the converter.

(b) Convince yourself that the DAC can produce any desired output voltage between 0 and VFS with at most VFS/2(2N-1) error (i.e., one-half the resolution). This is called quantization error of the converter.

(c) For VFS = 5 V, how many bits are required tp obtain a resolution of 2 mV or better? What is the actual resolution obtained? What is the resulting quantization error?
