ABSTRACT:
A digital-to-analog converter, particularly for digital systems requiring a fast and accurate high resolution conversion of a digital input code into a corresponding analog output voltage. The converter comprises essentially an integrator and at least two counters.
The most and least significant bits of the input code are loaded separately into two reverse counters which are released thereafter, whereby the output voltage of the integrator is increasing linearly. The slope of the integrator is correspondingly decreased every time one of the counters reaches zero. The conversion is completed when the remaining counter reaches zero. The integrator provides then the analog output voltage which is stored, free from transient glitches and available at its output inherently having low output impedance.
