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?

  1. A.

    20mA

  2. B.

    17.1mA

  3. C.

    188.1mA

  4. D.

    13.3mA

Attempted by 7 students.

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.
