A 6 bit DAC has a current output. For a digital input of 110010, the output current of 15mA is produced. What is the Output Current when the digital input is 111001?

Answer: B. 17.1mAThe current is proportional to the digital input value. 110010₂ = 50 gives 15 mA, and 111001₂ = 57, so output = 15 x 57 / 50 = 17.1 mA.

  1. A.

    20mA

  2. B.

    17.1mA

  3. C.

    188.1mA

  4. D.

    13.3mA

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

The current is proportional to the digital input value. 110010₂ = 50 gives 15 mA, and 111001₂ = 57, so output = 15 x 57 / 50 = 17.1 mA.
