Given Information:
Sensor voltage range = 0 to 5V
ADC resolution: 10 bits
Required Information:
Resolution of sensor = ?
Answer:
Resolution of sensor = [tex]4.882[/tex] [tex]mV[/tex]
Explanation:
The resolution of a sensor is basically a measure of the smallest change in the output value.
An analogue to digital converter (ADC) is used to convert analog signals into digital signals.
Resolution of sensor = [tex]\frac{V }{2^{N} }[/tex]
Where V is the full scale voltage range of the sensor and N is the number of bits of the analog to digital converter (ADC)
Full scale voltage range of the sensor = 5 - 0
Full scale voltage range of the sensor = 5 V
Resolution of sensor = [tex]\frac{5 }{2^{10} }[/tex]
Resolution of sensor = [tex]\frac{5 }{1024 }[/tex]
Resolution of sensor = [tex]\frac{5 }{1024 }[/tex]
Resolution of sensor = [tex]4.882[/tex] [tex]mV[/tex]
