Purpose
To convert digital values to analog voltages
Performs inverse operation of the Analog-to-
Digital Converter (ADC)
V OUT ∝Digital Value
Reference Voltage

ADCs are used in systems to capture “real world” signals and
convert them to “digital” signals.
Characteristics
Comprised of switches, op-amps, and resistors
Provides resistance inversely proportion to significance

DAC
▫ Fast
• Disadvantages
▫ Need large range of resistor values (2048:1 for 12-
bit) with high precision in low resistor values.
Each digital i/p controls a switch thr the res either to the summing
point or to the ground
.
Opamp sums the currents reaching the summing point and o/p's
the proportional voltage.

Disadv of a weighted res n/w over an R-2R
Ladder n/w
Each res in the n/w has a diff value.uses precision res, their cost
factor increases.
The value of LSB res is 2n times the feedback res. The value is
too high and not easily available in the IC'S.
The res used in the MSB is reqd to handle a much large current
than the LSB res.(current is 500 times larger in MSB)
R-2R Ladder DAC
R-2R Ladder DAC
The summing amplifier with the R-2R ladder of
resistances shown produces the output where the
D's take the value 0 or 1.
The digital inputs could be TTL voltages which
close the switches on a logical 1 and leave it
grounded for a logical 0.
This is illustrated for 4 bits, but can be extended
to any number with just the resistance values R
and 2R.
• The DAC0808 is an 8-bit monolithic,high
speed current o/p DAC.

Current o/p DAC
In previous tech, the opamp performs the sum of currents and
converts them to voltage.
