PARAMETER DEFINITIONS
RESOLUTION (N)
The resolution of a DAC is the number of states (2
full-scale range (FSR) is divided (or resolved) into; where n is
equal to the number of bits.
RELATIVE ACCURACY (INL)
Relative accuracy, or integral nonlinearity, is the maximum de-
viation of the analog output (from the ideal) from a straight line
drawn between the end points. It is expressed in terms of least
significant bit (LSB), or as a percent of full scale.
DIFFERENTIAL NONLINEARITY (DNL)
Differential nonlinearity is the worst case deviation of any adja-
cent analog output from the ideal 1 LSB step size. The devia-
tion of the actual “step size” from the ideal step size of 1 LSB is
called the differential nonlinearity error or DNL. DACs with
DNL greater than 1 LSB may be nonmonotonic. 1/2 LSB
INL guarantees monotonicity and 1 LSB maximum DNL.
GAIN ERROR (G
Gain error is the difference between the actual and the ideal
analog output range, expressed as a percent of full-scale or in
terms of LSB value. It is the deviation in slope of the DAC
transfer characteristic from ideal.

GENERAL CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
CONVERTER SECTION
The DAC8248 incorporates two multiplying 12-bit current out-
put CMOS digital-to-analog converters on one monolithic chip.
It contains two highly stable thin-film R-2R resistor ladder net-
works, two 12-bit DAC registers, two 8-bit input registers, and
two 4-bit input registers. It also contains the DAC control logic
circuitry and 24 single-pole, double-throw NMOS transistor
current switches.
Figure 1 shows a simplified circuit for the R-2R ladder and tran-
sistor switches for a single DAC. R is typically 11 k . The tran-
sistor switches are binarily scaled in size to maintain a constant
voltage drop across each switch. Figure 2 shows a single NMOS
transistor switch.
