A $4$ -bit weighted-resistor DAC with inputs $b_{3}, b_{2}, b_{1}$ , and $b_{0}$ (MSB to LSB) is designed using an ideal opamp, as shown below. The switches are closed when the corresponding input bits are logic ' $l$ ' and open otherwise. When the input $b_{3} b_{2} b_{1} b_{0}$ changes from $1110$ to $1101$ , the magnitude of the change in the …
