INL values are determined for sub-segments of a DAC adapted to accept N bit digital input codes, and a first set of correction codes that can be used to reduce to a range of INL values (to improve linearity of the DAC) are determined and stored. Additionally, DNL values are determined for the sub-segments of the DAC, and a second set of correction codes that can be used to ensure that all values of DNL>-1 (to ensure that the DAC is monotonic) are determined and stored. This can include using one or more extra bits of resolution to remap at least some of the 2^N possible digital input codes (that can be accepted by the DAC) to more than 2^N possible digital output codes, to ensure that all values of DNL>-1. Such stored first and second sets are thereafter used when performing digital to analog conversions.
