DNL ACCURACY

A Differential Non-Linearity (DNL) error is the measure

of the variations in code widths from the ideal code

width. A DNL error of zero indicates that every code is

exactly 1 LSb wide.

FIGURE 4-2:

Example for DNL Error.

4.0.3

OFFSET ERROR

Offset error is the deviation from zero voltage output

when the digital input code is zero.

4.0.4

GAIN ERROR

Gain error is the deviation from the ideal output,

VREF – 1 LSb, excluding the effects of offset error.

Circuit Descriptions

4.1.1

OUTPUT AMPLIFIER

The analog DAC output is buffered with a low-power,

precision CMOS amplifier. This amplifier provides low

offset voltage and low noise. The output stage enables

the device to operate with output voltages close to the

power supply rails. Refer to Section 1.0 “Electrical

Characteristics” for the analog output voltage range

and load conditions.

In addition to resistive load-driving capability, the

amplifier will also drive high capacitive loads without

oscillation. The amplifier’s strong output allows VOUT to

be used as a programmable voltage reference in a

system.

4.1.1.1

Programmable Gain Block

The rail-to-rail output amplifier has two configurable

gain options: a gain of 1x (<GA> = 1) or a gain of 2x

(<GA> = 0). The default setting is a gain of 2x. This

results in an ideal full-scale output of 0.000V to 4.096V

due to the internal reference (VREF = 2.048V).

4.1.2

VOLTAGE REFERENCE

The

MCP4801/4811/4821 devices utilize internal

2.048V voltage reference. The voltage reference has a
