ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a DAC constructed from a series of floating gate devices which are programmable to a series of predetermined values. Addressing one or more of the programmed floating gate devices will select from a wide variety of analog outputs. Reprogramming the floating gate devices, can provide a different variety of analog outputs. For example, the floating gate devices can be preprogrammed to a different range of outputs matching a range of perceptible signals.
