8.3.1 DAC Architecture

The resistor-string section is simply a string of resistors, each with the same value, from REFIN to GND, as Figure 8-1 shows. This type of architecture makes sure the DAC is monotonic. The 16-bit (DAC8750) or 12-bit (DAC7750) binary digital code loaded to the DAC register determines at which node on the string the voltage is tapped off before it is fed into the voltage-to-current conversion stage. The current-output stage converts the voltage output from the string to current. When the output is disabled, it is in a high-impedance (Hi-Z) state. After power-on, the output is disabled.
