Q1. Difference between RISC and CISC?
Ans. 
RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) has a smaller set of simple instructions, while CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) has a larger set of complex instructions.
• RISC processors have simpler instructions that can be executed in a single clock cycle, making them faster.

• CISC processors have more complex instructions that may require multiple clock cycles to execute.

• RISC architectures typically have a smaller chi...read more

Q2. How ADC(Analog to Digital Converter) works?
Ans. 
ADC converts analog signals into digital data by sampling the input signal at regular intervals.
• ADC samples the input signal at regular intervals

• It quantizes the sampled values into discrete digital values

• The resolution of ADC determines the number of possible digital values

• Common types of ADC include successive approximation ADC and delta-sigma ADC
