Digital Signal Processing - Technical MCQs

Q1:

In a 4-bit R/2R ladder digital-to-analog converter, because of negative feedback, the operational amplifier keeps the inverting (minus) input near ________.

A 5 volts

B zero volts

C a voltage determined by the binary weighted input

D none of the above

ANS:B - zero volts

Positive input of OPAMP is grounded. So OPAMP gives negative feed back in such a way that its negative input is also ground and the differential signal is zero.
