Apparatus and a method for compensating production or operationally-induced inaccuracies in the binary-weighted electrodes of a high-resolution digital phase modulator of, for example, a fiber optic gyroscope. Programmable correction values are employed to increase the accuracy of each binary-weighted planar electrode. In the invention, a less significant component of the binary drive signal, if appropriate after compensation in a low resolution digital-to-analog converter, is converted into an analog signal that is applied to a specific or a separate additional electrode of the digital phase modulator.
