A 12-bit converter is specified where a 10-bit one would do. The likely consequence is

  • A.a lower sampling rate than the application requires
  • B.a larger package than the board can accommodate
  • C.an inability to use the converter's own reference
  • D.a higher part cost for resolution the signal chain cannot support

Answer: D

Two extra bits are worth nothing if the sensor, the amplifier and the board noise floor cannot resolve them, and they cost money and often conversion time. Matching the converter to the signal chain rather than to an aspiration is the discipline.
