CAT2 OF INTEGRATED CIRCUIT TESTING

Q1. An op amp circuit usually employs negative feedback to

A. Maximize the gain.
B. Control the gain.
C. Allow oscillation over a wide band of frequencies.
D. Forget it! Op amp circuits never have negative feedback.
ANSW: B. Control the gain.

Q2. Suppose a communications channel carries several signals at once. Which type of IC might
be used to single one of the signals out for reception?
A. An op amp
B. A timer
C. A comparator
D. A multiplexer/demultiplexer
ANSW: D. A multiplexer/DE multiplexer

Q3. Which type of IC is commonly used to determine whether two dc voltages are the same
or different?
A. An op amp
B. A timer
C. A comparator
D. A multiplexer/demultiplexer
ANSW: C. A comparator
Q4. Which type of digital IC is least susceptible to noise?
A. Transistor-transistor logic
B. Base-coupled logic
C. Emitter-coupled logic
D. N-channel-coupled logic
ANS: A. Transistor-transistor logic

Q5. Which isolation technique is used in applications like military and aeroscope?
a) Thin film isolation
b) PN-junction isolation
c) Barrier isolation
d) Dielectric isolation
ANS : d) Dielectric isolation Because In dielectric isolation a layer of solid dielectric is used for
isolation purpose. This layer is thick enough such that its associated capacitance is negligible.
Moreover, it is more expensive, which is justified by its superior performance.

Q6 Which of the following is not a characteristic of CMOS chips?

A. Sensitivity to damage by electrostatic discharge
B. Low current demand
C. Ability to work at high speed
D. Ability to handle extremely high power
ANSW: D. Ability to handle extremely high power
