A power MOSFET, for which θjC = 4 oC/W, is mounted on a heat sink with θjA = 5 oC/W.

Explain the operation of the digital-to-analogue converter of Figure 7. Each of the N-channel enhancement FETs have a threshold voltage VTN of 1 V and negligible ON resistances. Treat each FET as a switch: closed if the gate input (for example, b0) is greater than the threshold voltage VTN, otherwise the switch is open. Also assume that Rd << 2R. b0, b1, b2, and b3 are digital inputs, with values of either 0 or 5 V.
