A motor has an rpm range of 0 – 1000 rpm. In using a 9 bit DAC what will be the maximum error in resolution, when an output voltage of 737 rpm is to be generated?

  1. A.

    1.957 rpm

  2. B.

    0.789 rpm

  3. C.

    1.953 rpm

  4. D.

    1.168 rpm

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

A 9-bit DAC has 2^9 = 512 levels.

Resolution step = 1000 / 512 = 1.953 rpm approximately.

So the maximum resolution error asked in the option set is 1.953 rpm.
