Component and measurement advances ensure 16-bit DAC settling time
The art of timely accuracy
Jim Williams
Introduction
Instrumentation, waveform generation, data acquisition, feedback control systems and other application areas are beginning to utilize 16-bit data converters. More specifically, 16-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) have seen increasing use. New components (see Components for 16-Bit Digital-to-Analog Conversion, page 2) have made 16-bit DACs a practical design alternative.1 These ICs provide 16-bit performance at reasonable cost compared to previous modular and hybrid technologies. The DC and AC specifications of the monolithic DAC’s approach or equal previous converters at significantly lower cost.
