D. Io= -(Vref/2R1)×[(D7/2)+(D6/4)+(D5/8)+(D4/16)+(D3/32)+(D2/64)+(D1/128)+(D0/256)].

Answer: C

MC1408 is a combination of a DAC and current to voltage converter. If the binary signal is input to MC1408 DAC then the output current would be,

Io= (Vref/R1)×[ (D7/2)+(D6/4)+(D5/8)+(D4/16)+(D3/32)+(D2/64)+(D1/128)+(D0/256)].

 

86. Determine the maximum value of output current of the DAC in MC1408?

A. 0.773×(Vref/R1)
B. 0.448×(Vref/R1)
C. 0.996×(Vref/R1)
D. 0.224×(Vref/R1)

Answer: C

The output current of DAC is the maximum when all the inputs are logic 1.

Therefore, Io= (Vref/R1)×(1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128/+1/256)

=(0.996)×(Vref/R1).

 

87. Determine the range or the output voltage?

Determine the range or the output voltage?


A. 0 – 2.51v
B. 0 – 2.22v
C. 0 – 3.74v
D. 0 – 4.93v

Answer: D

When all binary input D0 through D7 are logic 0, the current Io =0.

∴ The minimum value of Vo =0v.

When all the inputs are at logic 1, Io = (Vref/R1) ×

(1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128/+1/256)

= (3/2kΩ) × (0.996) =1.494mA.

Hence, the maximum value of output voltage is

Vo= Io×RF = 1.494×3.3kΩ =4.93v.

Thus, the output voltage range is from 0 to 4.93v.

 

88. Calculate the change in the output voltage if the photocell is exposed to a light of 0.61lux from a dark condition. Specification: Assume that the op-amp is initially nulled, Minimum dark resistance = 100kΩ, and resistance when illuminated (at 0.61lux) = 1.5kΩ.

Assume that the op-amp is initially nulled, Minimum dark resistance = 100kΩ and resistance when illuminated (at 0.61lux)


A. Vo –> 23v to 50v
B. Vo –> 0v to 33.11v
C. Vo –> -1.653v to 8.987v
D. Vo –> -0.176v to -11.73v

Answer: D

The resistance RT in darkness is 100kΩ.

The minimum output voltage in darkness is

Vo min = -(Vdc×RF)/ RT

= -(3.2v×5.5kΩ)/100kΩ = -0.176v.

When the photocell is illuminated, its resistance RT =1.5kΩ.

Therefore, the maximum output voltage is

Vo max = -(Vdc×RF)/ RT 

= -(3.2v×5.5kΩ)/1.5kΩ =-11.73v.

Thus, Vo varies from -0.176v to -11.73 as the photocell is exposed to light from a dark condition.

90. If the input applied to DAC using the current to voltage converter is 10110100, determine the reference voltage (Assume Io= 2mA and R1=1.2kΩ)

A. 53.1v
B. 3.41v
C. 9.21v
D. 67.34v

Answer: B

Io=Vref/R1×[(D7/2)+(D6/4)+(D5/8)+(D4/16)+(D4/32)+(D4/64)]

Vref =(Io×R1)/ (1/2+0+1/8+1/16+0+1/64+0+0)

=(2mA×1.2kΩ)/0.703 .

=> Vref = 3.41v.
