and V2=5V, Assume Ideal Op-Amp behavior.

Q.No.2- Using the following input waveform, sketch the corresponding

output waveform for each op amp circuit. Assume ideal op amp behavior.

Q.No.3- Analog input to a 5-bit A/D converter is 2.25 V, input range is -5V
to +5V What is correct digital output?
Q.no.4- Digital output is to be used to control direction and a
potentiometer to control speed of a DC motor. Draw a control diagram and
then an electric circuit.
