Monolithic/Hybrid Digital to Analog Converters

Posted: 23 Jun 2011 04:40 AM PDT

Earlier, I had explained two DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERTERS. Both of them have been designed for four inputs. But, if the number of inputs is more than four, the combination of output becomes more than 16. This makes the circuit more complex and the accuracy of the circuit reduces. Therefore, in critical and complex applications, a monolithic/hybrid D/A converter IC must be used. With the help of binary-weighted resistor, and R  and 2R resistor methods, 8-bit,10-bit, 12-bit, 14-bit, and 16-bit D/A converters can be designed with a current output, voltage output, or both current and voltage outputs. The most commonly used 8-bit D/A converter is MC 1408which has a current output that can be converted to a voltage type using a current to voltage converter op-amp. The design along with the current to voltage converter is shown in the figure below. MC 1408 Digital to Analog Converter SE/NE 5018 is a typical 8-bit D/A converter with voltage output. The figure is shown below. SE-NE 5018 Digital to Analog Converter In the figure, the SE/NE 5018 circuit is configured for uni-polar output (0V to 10V). For 12 bits of resolution as well as current and voltage outputs, hybrid D/A converters such...
