Digital-to-analog converter

摘要

A digital-to-analog converter for converting binary digital input signals into an analog output signals. The converter has a thermometer decoder for decoding a most significant number of the binary bits of the digital input signal into a number of decoder outputs. Apparatus connected to the thermometer decoder and enabled by the decoder outputs in combination with a least significant number of binary bits of the digital input signal generate an analog output signal corresponding to the binary bit digital input signal.
