How easy is it to build your own Digital to Analog Converter (DAC)? Although you can readily purchase a wide variety of DACs these days, building your own can be very instructive, as the [Sine Lab] on ...

The first step in selecting and using high-precision D/A converters is to consider the DAC architecture that is best for a given application. Several architectures are available, including oversampled ...

Abstract: A novel, on-chip transfer function calibration scheme is introduced to the classical resistor string DAC architecture. A 16-bit, quad channel, resistor string DAC with exceptional accuracy ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a supply current testable resistor string DAC of decoder type whose area overhead is small and a supply current test method. Open defects and short ones in the DAC ...

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) transforms digital binary data into an analog signal using weighted contributions from each bit. In this FAQ, we discuss the two most commonly known ways of DAC ...

In this exclusive series, Chipworks, one of the world's leading IC reverse-engineering houses, provides detailed functional and circuit analysis of significant new integrated circuits. Coupling actual ...
