Expert Solution
Step 1

In 3-bit converter, there are 8 possible combination which is 23. For the D/A converter shown in the circuit there are 8 resistance and the combination of switches are:

  • 8 switches in first row,
  • 4 switches in second row,
  • 2 switches in third row.

Thus, the generalized relation for n-bit D/A converter is:

  • Number of resistors = 2n,
  • Number of row of switches = n,
  • Total number of switches (s) is:
