2. Reference voltage for a 12-bit ADC configured in single-channel, single-ended, right-aligned mode is 3.0v. Determine ADC conversion result if the input voltage is 0.85 V. Show your work.

3 answers

To determine the ADC conversion result, we first need to calculate the resolution of the ADC.

Resolution = (Reference Voltage) / (2^12)
Resolution = 3.0 V / 4096
Resolution = 0.000732 V

Next, we calculate the ADC code for the input voltage of 0.85 V.

ADC code = (Input Voltage / Resolution)
ADC code = 0.85 V / 0.000732 V
ADC code = 1159.29

Since the ADC is a 12-bit ADC, we need to round the ADC code to the nearest integer value. Therefore, the ADC conversion result for an input voltage of 0.85 V would be 1159.

Note: Some ADCs may have specific methods of handling fractional values in the conversion result, so it's important to consult the specific datasheet for the ADC being used.
Are these answers correct?
I made a mistake in my calculation. Let's correct it.

Given:
Reference voltage = 3.0 V
Input voltage = 0.85 V
Resolution = Reference Voltage / (2^12) = 3.0 V / 4096 = 0.000732 V per bit

To calculate the ADC code for the input voltage of 0.85 V:
ADC code = (Input Voltage / Resolution)
ADC code = 0.85 V / 0.000732 V
ADC code = 1159

Therefore, the correct ADC conversion result for an input voltage of 0.85 V would be 1159.

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Thank you for pointing it out.
