You are designing a digital thermostat which needs to measure the temperature in a room. The thermostat uses an analog thermometer, which outputs a voltage between 0 and 2 volts which corresponds to a temperature range of -80F to 220F. Your analog-to-digital converter on your digital system has an input voltage of 0-5V. How many bits of resolution must your analog-to-digital converter be to measure a temperature with a resolution of 1 degree F?

An 10-bit successive approximation A/D (Analog-to-digital) converter has the following specs: Minimum analog to digital conversion time 3×10^-3 second with the analog input voltage range: 0 to +6 volts. The A/D is used with a laser micrometer sensor that provides analog position feedback in the range of 0-0.02 m mapping linearly to the voltage of 0-1 volt with precision (accuracy) of 60 μm. a) What is the maximum frequency that can be sampled without aliasing (Hz)? b) What is the...
