8 bit DAC calculator | Digital Input,Analog Output
This page mentions 8 bit DAC calculator and 10 bit DAC calculator. The DAC calculator takes digital input and provides analog output. The DAC conversion formula/equations are also mentioned. Simple R-2R binary weighted DAC is used for calculation.
EXAMPLE:
INPUTS: Binary(LSB to MSB) = (MSB)1000 0001(LSB), Reference_voltage = 5 V, n is taken as 8 as it is 8 bit DAC.
OUTPUT: Output analog voltage = 2.529
