Resolution = V/2^N-1.
5mV = 5/2^N-1
2^N-1 = 5/5*10^-3V
2^N-1 = 1/10^-3V
2^N-1 = 10^3V
2^N-1 = 1000
2^N = 1000+1
2^N = 1001.

The nearest power to this value for 2^N is 2^10.
i.e,2^9=512, 2^10=1024, then the value 1024 is nearest to 1001,
then 2^N=2^10,
=> N=10.

Resolution =(vmax-vmin)/(2^N).
((2^N)-1) = (vmax-vmin/Resolution).
(2^N) = (5-0/5m)+1.
(2^N) = 1001.
Nx(log2) = (log (1001)).
N = (log (1001))/(log2).
N = 9.96.

Here, the Value of n = summation of total voltage.

Resolution of DAC =[full scale range]/[(2^n)-1],
Given full scale range 5v.
Resolution of DAC =5mv.

So,
5 * 10^-3 = 5/(2^n-1).
You will get the answer.

iIf n^2 = 1001,
So n = 31.46.
