In analog computer

  1. Input is first converted to digital form

  2. Input is never converted to digital form

  3. Output is displayed in digital form

  4. All of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In analog computer Input is never converted to digital form.

A device that processes infinitely varying signals, such as voltage or frequencies. A thermometer is a simple analog computer. ... Although special-purpose, complex analog computers are built, almost all computers are digital. Digital methods provide programming flexibility.

An analog computer is a computer which is used to process analog data. Analog computers store data in a continuous form of physical quantities and perform calculations with the help of measures. It is quite different from the digital computer, which makes use of symbolic numbers to represent results.

In a 4 bit weighted register D/A converter, the register value corresponding to LSB is $32K\Omega$ the register value corresponding to MSB will be _________________.

  1. $32\Omega$
  2. $16\Omega$
  3. $8\Omega$
  4. $4\Omega$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In a 4 bit weighted register D/A converter, the register value corresponding to LSB is 32KΩ the register value corresponding to MSB will be 4Ω.

In the weighted resistor type DAC, each digital level is converted into an equivalent analog voltage or current.

 

DAC converter produces an output current of voltage proportional to digital quantity to its output. In the circuit op-amp is used as current to voltage converter.

Signals can easily be stored and transmitted in digital form; a DAC is used for the signal to be recognized by human senses or non-digital systems.

Which one is not changeable instruction __________.

  1. DCR

  2. MVI

  3. LXI

  4. SHLD

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

DCR is not changeable instruction.

DCR means Dynamic Contrast Ratio. Contrast ratio is the difference between light and dark on a screen, expressed by a number. If we take the brightest white on a screen, and the darkest black and compare the luminosity, we get the contrast ratio.

Design change request, also Document Change Request and Database Change Request.

Resolution of 10bit ADC is ____________.

  1. 1 ms

  2. 10 ms

  3. 100 ms

  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Resolution of 10 bit ADC is 1ms.

The only way to increase resolution without reducing the range is to use an ADC with more bits. A 10-bit ADC has 2^10, or 1,024 possible output codes. There is no switching of IP channels and there is at least 1ms between enabling the ADC and starting the conversion.

The ADC reports a ratio metric value. This means that the ADC assumes 5V is 1023 and anything less than 5V will be a ratio between 5V and 1023. Analog to digital conversions are dependent on the system voltage.

An analog to digital converter (ADC) is an electronic device which converts varying analog signals into digital signals so that they can easily be read by the digital devices.

Explanation

Game controllers send button presses, trigger pulls, and joystick movements from the user to the console or computer. Since they transmit user actions into the system, they are input devices.

Multiple choice
  1. input

  2. output

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Sensors detect physical properties from the environment (like temperature, light, or pressure) and convert them into electrical signals. These signals are then sent into the computer for processing, making sensors input devices.
