Abstract :
An 18-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a full-scale current output of 100 mA and a compliance voltage range of ±12 V has been designed for use as a precision voltage output DAC. The output noise and settling time of the new design are considerably lower than obtainable from conventional design approaches. An accurate method of measuring settling time also is described.
