Question 2 |
In an N bit flash ADC, the analog voltage is fed simultaneously to 2^{N}-1 comparators. The output of the comparators is then encoded to a binary format using digital circuits. Assume that the analog voltage source V_{in} (whose output is being converted to digital format) has a source resistance of 75 \Omega as shown in the circuit diagram below and the input capacitance of each comparator is 8 pF.
The input must settle to an accuracy of 1/2 LSB even for a full scale input change for proper conversion. Assume that the time taken by the thermometer to binary encoder is negligible.
