DIGITAL ANALOG CONVERTER AND THE CONTROL METHOD

摘要

A digital analog converter and an operating method thereof are provided to control an electrical parameter without maintaining linearity in a system requiring a point to point control based on a lookup table by outputting an increasing analog value with the point to point nonlinear characteristic by corresponding to a digital input value. A digital analog converter converts a digital input value comprised of N bits into the 2N analog values and outputs the converted value. A nonlinear reference signal generator(20) includes a decoder and a signal generator(24). A signal generator includes a power unit, a device part, and a voltage divider. A power supply unit supplies the reference voltage. The device part includes 2n devices with different impedance connected in series. The voltage divider outputs the distribution voltage in proportion to the sum of impedance about the number of devices corresponding to the digital input value among the 2n devices as the analog value.
