(neglect the effect of r
0
). Then find the CMRR, in dB.

b) The Tunnel Diode exhibits a special characteristics shown in Fig. 2, explain
energy band gap diagrams), the reasons behind the following:
I- the Diode act as a conductor from Point A to Point B,
II- the Diode act as a negative resistance from Point B to Point C,
III- the Diode act as a conventional f

Question (2)
(a) The R-2R ladder for a DAC
that the currents controlled by the switches are binary weighted.

(b) The design of a 4-bit flash ADC such as that shown in Fig. 4 is being considered:
I- How many comparators are required?
II- For an input signal in the range of 0 to +10V, what are the reference voltages needed?
III- Show how they can be generated using a 10
IV- Indicate the digital code you expect at the output of the comparators and at the output of the logic
for an input of 0 V, +5.1 V, and +10 V.
