1.

Design a 2-bit comparator (compares two 2-bit words) with a single output less-than, using
the combinational design technique described in the chapter. Start from a truth table, use K-maps
to minimize logic, and draw the final circuit.
2. Given an analog input signal whose voltage ranges from 0 to 15 V, and a 8-bit digital
encoding, calculate the correct encoding 5 V, and then trace the successive approximation
approach to find the correct encoding.
