Anyone know a shortcut to find the log values?

Nice solution, Thanks @ Sneha.

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

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

Resolution = V / 2^n -1. (Given resolution=5*10^-3, V=5, n=?) substitute values to the equation.

5*10^-3= 5/2^n -1.
2^n -1 = 5/5*10^-3
2^n-1 = 5*10^3 /5
=10^3
=1000
2^n =1000+1
= 1001
2^n = 1001. (Take log on both sides)

nlog2 = log(1001)
n = log(1001)/ log2
= 9.96722 (round to 10) =10.

Please clarify to understand.

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.
(1)

Resolution = Vr / 2^n -1.
5m = 5/2^n -1.
2^n -1 = 5/5m.
2^n-1 = 1000.
2^n = 1001.
So, n should be 10.

Resolution: V/2^n -1.

In the problem resolution is given r=5mV(5x10^-3), and we're to find the n-bit.

By equating the formula of resolution:
We Let x=n as a variable of unknown.

5*10^-3=5/2^x -1 ---> input in your calculator then shift solve for X then press = you can get 9.967 or approximately equal to 10.
