A 3-bit DAC is implemented using ideal opamp and switches as shown in the figure. Each of the switches gets closed when its corresponding digital input is at logic 1. For a digital input of 110, the resistance $R_{in}$ seen from the reference source and the current $I$, are

The correct answer is
$R_{in}$ = 2 k$\Omega$ and $I$ = 3 mA

The given problem involves a 3-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) using an op-amp and switches, with input represented as a binary number. The task is to determine the input resistance \(R_{in}\) and the current \(I\) for the digital input "110".

  1. Identify Binary Digits for the Input "110":
    • \(D_2 = 1\)
    • \(D_1 = 1\)
    • \(D_0 = 0\)
  2. Connect the Corresponding Resistors:
    • \(3 \, \text{k}\Omega\) and \(6 \, \text{k}\Omega\) are connected since \(D_2\) and \(D_1\) are '1'.
  3. Calculate the Equivalent Resistance:
    • Using parallel resistance formula: \(\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6} \, \text{k}\Omega\)
    • \(R_{eq} = 2 \, \text{k}\Omega\)
  4. Determine the Total Current \(I\):
    • Using Ohm's law: \(I = \frac{V}{R_{eq}} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \, \text{mA}\)
  5. Conclusion:
    • The input resistance \(R_{in}\) seen from the reference source is \(2 \, \text{k}\Omega\).
    • The current \(I\) is \(3 \, \text{mA}\).

Therefore, the correct answer is

\(R_{in} = 2 \, \text{k}\Omega\) and \(I = 3 \, \text{mA}\)
