7.3.2 Resistor String

The resistor string section is shown in Figure 64. It is simply a string of resistors, each of value R. The code loaded into the DAC register determines at which node on the string the voltage is tapped off to be fed into the output amplifier by closing one of the switches connecting the string to the amplifier. It is monotonic because it is a string of resistors.
