connected to the input of fourth flip flop. The output of fourth flip flop (Last) (QD) is
connected to the first flip flop, which provides feedback connection.

38.Explain the terms linearity and settling time in DAC?Ans: Linearity: In a D/A converter, equal increments in the numerical significance of the
digital input should result in the equal increments in the analog output voltage. In an actual
circuit the input-output relationship is not linear. This is due to the errors in resistor values
and voltage across the switches.

Settling Time: It is the time required for the analog output voltage to settle within (1/2)
LSB of the final value after a change in the digital input.

39.Explain the term accuracy and monotonocity in DAC?Ans:Accuracy: It is the measure of the difference between the actual output voltage and
the expected output voltage.
Accuracy output- analog voltage-
output- analog voltage- .
Montonocity: A D/A converter is said to be monotonic if its output voltage
increases regularly as its binary digital signal is increased from one value to the next value.

40.Explain the term quantization?Ans: It is the process of mapping (dividing) an analog signal into several equivalent
discrete levels (Ranges or Steps). That means, it is the process of converting a continous
input values to a discrete output values.
The transfer function of a quantizer is shown below.While the analog input may
have any value from 0 to high, the output can exist only as one of the 8 discrete values
from 0(000) to 7 (111). Hence the transfer function looks like a staircase.
