The quantization error in an analog-to-digital converter can be reduced by:
increasing the number of bits in the counter and DAC.
decreasing the number of bits in the counter and increasing the number of bits in the DAC.
increasing the number of bits in the counter and decreasing the number of bits in the DAC.
decreasing the number of bits in the counter and DAC.

9.
One disadvantage of the tracking A/D converter is:
that it requires two counters—one for up and one for down.
that the binary output will oscillate between two binary states when the analog input is constant.
the need for an accurate clock reference for the counter.
the need for a latch and its associated control circuit.
