Abstract

There are many ways of implementing digital to analog converters (D/As or DACs)—circuits that take an input that consists of “ones” and “zeros” and convert the inputs into an analog output signal. (Often the “ones” are a reference voltage, Vref and the “zeros” are 0V.) In this chapter, we present one simple, albeit not very practical, DAC. This DAC can be used with many types of microprocessors and can be considered a purely passive DAC.
