1. An analogue signal is to be sampled from a transducer with an output voltage range of 0 to 10 volts and operating on a 12-volt power supply. The designer has available two analogue to digital converters (ADC): a 3 bit ADC and a 4 bit ADC. For each converter:

(a) Supply the quantisation levels (including zero) that are available. Do this for both the three and 4-bit ADC in table form.
(b) What is the resolution of each quantizer?
(c) What is the maximum quantisation error?

Solution Summary

The solution gives clear steps to finding the quantisation levels (three and 4-bit ADC in table form), resolution of each quantizer and maximum value of the quantisation error for the analogue-to-digital converter described.

(a)
quantisation levels: (assuming a linear ADC)

3-bit ADC: 2^3 = 8 levels (level 0 to 7); divide 10V by (8-1=) 7 since 0 V represents level 0 and 10 V represents level 7.
