1. The filament of a small vacuum tube uses a power of approximately 1.5 W. Suppose that 75
million of these tubes are used to build the equivalent of a 64-Mb memory. How much power is
required for this memory? If the power is supplied from a 230V ac source, what is the current
required by this memory?
2. Determine the resistance of a cube with sides of length l cms and resistivity 10-cm, when a
pair of opposite surfaces are chosen as the terminals.
3. An 8-bit A/D converter has VFS=5V. What is the value of the LSB? If the input voltage is 2.77V,
what is the binary output code of the converter?
4. A given signal source provides an open-circuit voltage voc,and a short-circuit current isc. For the
following sources, calculate the internal resistance, Rs, the Norton current, is; and the thevenin
voltage, vs:
(a)
v oc =10 V ,i sc=100 A
(b)
v oc =0.1 V ,i sc=10 A
5. What is the fundamental frequency of the highest frequency square wave for which the fifth
harmonic is barely audible by a relatively young listener?
6. An amplifier using balanced power supplies is known to saturate for signals extending within 1.5
V of either supply. For liner operation, its gain is 500V/V. what is the rms value of the largest undistorted sine wave output available, and input needed with 5-V supplies? With 12-V supplies?
7. An amplifier has a voltage gain of 32 for frequencies above 10 kHz, and zero gain for frequencies
below
10
kHz.
