Digital to Analog Converter Jungchul Lee Kamran Jeelani Jonathan Beckwith Topics of Discussion • What is a DAC? • Types of DAC Circuits – Resistor-string DAC – N-Bit Binary weighted DAC – R-2R Ladder DAC • Specifications of DAC • Applications What is a DAC? • Digital-to-Analog Converter : An electronic device, often an integrated circuit, that converts a digital number into a corresponding analog voltage or current. • Relation between analog signal and digital equivalent n V ∑b 2−i =×V a i ref i 1 • AD conversion – V - b (encoder) ex) Transducer interface a i • DA conversion – b - V (decoder) ex) motor, heater control i a DAC configurations • Assume the analog signal is a voltage D , D … D , D N-1 N-2 1 0 N-bit digital word … V Ref V Out DAC =V *D/2N Analog voltage signal ref V Out Types of DAC Circuits 1. Resistor-string 2. N-Bit Binary Weig
