Homework Statement
A temperature sensor has a full scale output of 0 to 5 volts which corresponds to a temperature range of 0 to 100ºC. If the sensor is interfaced to a 12 bit Analog‐to‐Digital
Converter (ADC) with a full‐scale output range of 0 to 10.0 volts, what decimal value will the
ADC provide for a temperature of 39.1 ºC?
Homework Equations
ADC resolution = voltage measurement range / number of discrete quantization levels
The Attempt at a Solution
So usually when I have this kind of problem I'm only given one voltage. Here is my attempt at a solution, the answer is suppose to be 200(which doesn't seem to make sense to me right now either.)
4096 resolution / 100ºC = 0.02441 (temperature per bit)
39.1/100 * 4096 = 1601 bit
