All questions carry same marks

Q 1.

a) Design a three-digit simultaneous A/D converter for the input signal shown in fig. 1.
[CLO3, C6, PLO2]

b) Determine the binary number sequence of the three-digit simultaneous A/D converter for the
input signal and encoder pulses shown in fig. 1. Draw the resulting digital output waveforms.
[CLO3, C3, PLO2]

Q 2.

a) Design a D/A converter (either scaling adder or R2R ladder) for the three digit binary codes
sequence as shown in fig. 2. [CLO3, C6, PLO2]

b) Determine the output voltage of the D/A converter constructed for fig. 2. [CLO3, C3, PLO2]

Q 3.

Plot the output waveform of the circuits in fig. 3a and 3b. [CLO4, C4, PLO4]

Q 4.

a) Explain the purpose of R3 in fig. 4. [CLO4, C2, PLO4]

b) Determine the necessary value of R2 in fig. 4 so that the circuit will oscillate. Neglect the
forward resistance of the zener diodes. [CLO4, C3, PLO4]
c) Calculate the resonant frequency in fig. 4. [CLO4, C3, PLO4]
