In summary, this presentation series has provided the tools needed for understanding DAC specifications in detail, which will enable better DAC selection to ensure optimal system performance. In terms of DC performance, Resolution (or DNL) is more important for a closed loop system while Accuracy (or INL) is more important for an open loop system. Total Unadjusted Error (or TUE) gives a truer indication of device performance than simply taking the worst case maximum error sources and adding those values together. R/2R DAC architectures have the lowest noise. Some Digital to Analog converters may require reference or output buffering to achieve optimum performance. Finally, glitch duration is typically shorter than system response’s time to settle, making its impact minimal.
