CUSTOMER_CODE SMUDE DIVISION_CODE SMUDE EVENT_CODE APR2016 ASSESSMENT_CODE BCA1040_APR2016 QUESTION_TYPE DESCRIPTIVE_QUESTION QUESTION_ID 5709 QUESTION_TEXT Explain in brief any four types of electronic DACs. SCHEME OF EVALUATION Solution: Explanation of each – 2.5 marks x 4 = 10 marks Answer: The Pulse Width Modulator, the simplest DAC type. A stable current or voltage is switched into a low pass analog filter with a duration determined by the digital input code. This technique is often used for electric motor speed control, and is now becoming common in high-fidelity audio. Oversampling DACs or Interpolating DACs such as the Delta-Sigma DAC, use a pulse density conversion technique. The oversampling technique allows for the use of a lower resolution DAC internally. A simple 1-bit DAC is often chosen because the oversampled result is inherently linear. The DAC is driven with a pulse density modulated signal, created with the use of a low-pass filter, step nonlinearity (the actual 1-bit DAC), and negative feedback loop, in a technique called delta- sigma modulation. This results in an effective high-pass filter acting on the quantization (signal processing) noise, thus steering this noise out of the low frequencies of interest into the high frequencies of little interest, which is called noise shaping (very high frequencies because of the oversampling). The quantization noise at these high frequencies are removed or greatly attenuated by use of an analog low-pass filter at the output (sometimes a simple RC lowpass circuit is sufficient). Most very high resolution DACs (greater than 16 bits) are of this type due to its high linearity and low cost. Higher oversampling rates can either relax the specifications of the output low-pass filter and enable further suppression of quantization noise. Speeds of greater than 100 thousand samples per second (for example, 192kHz) and resolutions of 24 bits are attainable with Delta-Sigma DACs. The Binary Weighted DAC, which contains one resistor or current source for each bit of the DAC connected to a summing point. These precise voltages or currents sum to the correct output value. This is one of the fastest conversion methods but suffers from poor accuracy because of the high precision required for each individual voltage or current. Such high-precision resistors and current- sources are expensive, so this type of converter is usually limited to 8-bit resolution or less. The R-2R Ladder DAC, which is a binary weighted DAC that uses a repeating cascaded structure of resistor values R and 2R. This improves the precision due to the relative ease of producing equal valued matched resistors (or current sources). However, wide converters perform slowly due to increasingly large RC-constants for each added R-2R link. The Thermometer coded DAC, which contains an equal resistor or current source segment for each possible value of DAC output. An 8bit thermometer DAC would have 255 segments, and a 16-bit thermometer DAC would have 65,535 segments. This is perhaps the fastest and highest precision DAC architecture but at the expense of high cost. Conversion speeds of >1 billion samples per second have been reached with this type of DAC. Hybrid DACs, which use a combination of the above techniques in a single converter. Most DAC integrated circuits are of this type due to the difficulty of getting low cost, high speed and high precision in one device. o The Segmented DAC, which combines the thermometer coded principle for the most significant bits and the binary weighted principle for the least significant bits. In this way, a compromise is obtained between precision (by the use of the thermometer coded principle) and number of resistors or current sources (by the use of the binary weighted principle). The full binary weighted design means 0% segmentation, the full thermometer coded design means. 100% segmentation.

SCHEME OF EVALUATION A decoder is a digital device which decodes the original information from the encoded inputs. The functionality of a decoder is exactly the reverse of an encoder. In order to decode the information from the signals, the method used to encode the information is reversed. In digital systems, decoder is a logic circuit with multiple inputs and multiple outputs that produces a coded output from the coded inputs. In decoder the input and output codes are different i.e., if there is an nbit input code then decoder produces 2^n output code. The outputs of a decoder without enable input are assumed as single "disabled" output code word. In digital circuits, decoders are used in many applications like 7 segment display, multiplexing of the data and decoding of the memory address. (4 marks) When all the input of an AND gates are "high" the output will also be "high", therefore the AND gate can be considered as the simple decoder. The output which goes "high" when the inputs are high is known as "active High output". If NAND gate is connected instead of AND gate, then when all the inputs are "high" the output will be "Low" (0). Such output is called as "active low output". (1 mark) A slightly more complex decoder would be the n-to-2n type binary decoders. With n-to-2n binary decoders, maximum of '2n' outputs are generated from 'n' coded inputs which carry information. For 'n' bit coded input, if there are any unused combinations then number of outputs of the decoder can be less than 2n. From above discussion we can say that a decoder can produce maximum of 2n outputs. . In digital systems various types of decoders like 2-to-8 decoder, 2-to-4 decoder or 4-to-16 decoder are used. Two 2-to-4 decoders along with enable signal can be used to construct a 3-to-8 decoders. (2 marks) In the same way, a 4-to-16 decoder can be constructed by combining two 3-to-8 decoders. In the above design process, the 4th input which is given as enable input to both 3-to-8 decoders acts like selector between two 3-to-8 decoders,. The outputs D(0) through D(7) are produced by the first decoder and D(8) through D(15) are produced by the second decoder, the 4th input in 4-to-16 decoder enables either the first decoder or second decoder. This kind of decoders with enable signals is also known as a decoderdemultiplexer. Thus, we have a 4-to-16 decoder produced by adding a 4th input shared among both decoders, producing 16 outputs.

Radio modem: Direct broadcast satellite, WiFi, and mobile phones all use modems to communicate, as do most other wireless services today. Modern telecommunications and data networks also make extensive use of radio modems where long distance data links are required. Such systems are an important part of the PSTN, and are also in common use for highspeed computer network links to outlying areas where fiber is not economical. SCHEME OF EVALUATION Even where a cable is installed, it is often possible to get better performance or make other parts of the system simpler by using radio frequencies and modulation techniques through a cable. Coaxial cable has a very large bandwidth; however signal attenuation becomes a major problem at high data rates if a digital signal is used. By using a modem, a much larger amount of digital data can be transmitted through a single piece of wire. Digital cable television and cable Internet services use radio frequency modems to provide the increasing bandwidth needs of modern households. Using a modem also allows for frequency-division multiple access to be used, making full-duplex digital communication with many users possible using a single wire. Soft modem: Softmodem or winmodem is a stripped-down modem that takes up most of the tasks in to software, which was traditionally performed in hardware. Here, modem acts a digital signal process that creates sounds or voltage fluctuations on the telephone line. Because of the lesser hardware components, it is cheaper than traditional modems. Software generating the modem tones is complex and the performance of the computer as a whole gets affected when it is used. This is one disadvantage. This is becomes a real concern when it comes to online gaming. Lack of portability to OSs like Linux which may not have equivalent driver to operate the modem is another down-side. If the driver is incompatible with later version of windows, Winmodem may not work properly then.
