The static absolute accuracy of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) can be described in terms of three fundamental kinds of errors: offset, gain error, and nonlinearity. Linearity errors are the most ...

In this series of DAC Basics, we start out by briefly discussing three architectures (Figure 1). This will give us a good frame of reference as we work through the critical digital-to-analog converter ...

Dubbed the industry’s highest accuracy d/a converter, the DAC9881 delivers 18-bit monotonic performance, a ±2 LSB integral nonlinearity, and a ±1 LSB differential nonlinearity. Built on the company’s ...
