1.Explain what a Darlington Transistor is? How does it achieve high current gain? Explain why a Darlington Transistor (Q1) is being used in the circuit shown below (PWM control of motor speed as discussed in class on 9/8/2014): (20 points)
2.Explain the following Arduino instruction: (5 points)
3.How does a RISC architecture, such as with a microcontroller architecture like the AVR on the Arduino where most instructions are supposed to execute in one clock cycle, enable more efficient pipelining? In your own words explain how pipelining is more complicated in a CISC architecture: what is the main reason for this? (15 points)
