Title: Design of a Digital to Analog Converter (Part I)

Abstract: The design of a digital to analog converter is covered in this lab (DAC). In this report, binary
weighted DAC and R/2R ladder DAC designs are demonstrated. After we compared the two designs to
determine which is more effective.

Figure 3: R/2R Ladder DAC 


Apparatus:

1. IC741 OPAMP 1[pcs]


2. Resistors as required 14[pcs]
3. Oscilloscope.

Precautions:
Never switch on the DC source before the circuit has been properly installed and thoroughly examined.
Verify the circuit for short circuits.

Experimental Procedure:

1. On the trainer board, first we configured the Binary Weighted Digital to Analog converter as
shown in Figure 2.
2. Next, we assign the numbers 1010 to D0, D1, D2, and D3, accordingly. and examined the
oscilloscope's output.
3. Once more, the R/2R ladder was set up on the training board.
4. Then step 2 for R/2R DAC was repeated

Simulation:

Questions for report writing:


1. Why R/2R Ladder Digital-to-Analog Converter is preferable than Binary weighted Digital-to-
Analog Converter?
Answer:
The digital-to-analog converter is preferred for a number of reasons. One benefit among many is that
the R-2R ladder type only uses two resistor values. In comparison to Binary weighted DACs, it requires
fewer precision resistors. It is inexpensive and simple to produce.

Discussion:
An analog output signal is produced by a digital to analog converter (DAC) from a digital input signal. A
binary code—a concatenation of bits 0 and 1—is used to represent the digital signal. It has a few binary
inputs and a solitary output. A DAC will typically have a power of two binary inputs in total. The R-2R
ladder DAC is a binary-weighted DAC that employs a cascading structure of repeated resistors with
values R and 2R. Due of how simple it is to make equal-valued, matched resistors, the accuracy is
improved (or current sources).
Title: Design of a flash Analog to Digital Converter (Part II)

Abstract:
The quickest method for converting an analog signal to a digital signal is with flash analog-to-digital
converters, sometimes referred to as parallel ADCs. Flash ADCs are perfect for applications that need a
lot of bandwidth, but they are typically only capable of 8-bit resolution and use more power than other
ADC designs. Flash converters was discussed in this report with other converter kinds. By using a 2-bit
flash ADC here, the report shows how flash ADCs operate.

Figure 2: 2-bit flash ADC
Precautions:
We have our instructor check all our connections after we are done setting up the circuit and make sure
that we apply only enough voltage to turn on the chip, otherwise it may get damaged.

Simulation:

Discussion:
With pinpoint accuracy, a DAC can convert sampled data into an analog signal. The digital data might be
produced using a microprocessor. The two approaches that are most frequently used for digital to
analog conversion are the R-2R ladder network technique and the Weighted Resistors approach. The
quickest Flash analog-to-digital conversion is one method for converting an analog signal to a digital
signal. ADCs in parallel, also known as converters. Applications that require Flash ADCs are suited for
considerable bandwidth. On the other side, these converters use a lot of energy, have a restricted
resolution, and sometimes rather pricey. They are therefore restricted to high-frequency systems.
applications that have no other means of being addressed.
