Vo = 5(Vi/16)

= 5(5/16)

= 1.5625
4-bit R/2R digital-to-analog....

Here what about R/2R...?

I think 1.5625 x 2 = 3.125V

Main equation is,
Vo= Vref * (b0*2^(-1)+b1*2^(-2)+....)
Vo= 5 * (1*2^(-1)+0*2^(-2)+1*2^(-3)+0*2^(-4))
Vo=3.125V

In case of inverting, Vo = -1.5625 V.

In case of non-inverting, Vo = 3.125V.

So the given answer is correct.

Given,
Data (msb)0101(lsb).
Now v0 = (5/2)(1(lsb)/2^0 + 0 + 1/2^2 + 0)
=5/2 * 5/4
= 25/8 = 3.125.

It should be 1.5 because it is resolution * decimal equivalent
And it is 4 bit dac so 2^n =16.

In 4 bits, 1 bit is reserved to sign (pos or neg). So the resolution should be would be 5/2^3.

Formula = Vref/2^n(msb bit * 2^0 + nextbit * 2^1 + nextbit * 2^2 + lsb bit * 2^3).

Here most significant bit '0' then it's value can be 5 (0/2+1/4+0/8+1/16).

It can b solved as =ref. voltage * binary equivalent/ total no of steps.
