Hello,

Just a couple of questions:

1)  For D/A & A/D converters, the term monotonic refers to the ability of
the circuit to increase the digiital output for a   given increase in input
(and vice-versa). What other types of converters are available? Are there
derivative and integral controlled converters? (IE, the controller guesses
what the input analog trend will be and adjusts the digital output
accordingly)

2)  I am also confused as to what the physical representation of an 'address
encoder' for a PC might be?

3)  I was reading through the course objectives, and was wondering if
'selection of electric motors for a given application' material is
available. I'm assuming it is not testable material as it wasn't covered in
class?

Cheers,
Mark Drlik
