This very high resolution digital-to-analog converter has a highest possible conversion speed as its output voltage corresponding to the input code is determined immediately. The converter has an inherent low impedance bipolar output. A digital error correction is optional. In one embodiment the converter includes at least one reference signal source and a first resistor network coupled thereto for providing a plurality of reference voltages. In response to MSBs (or LSBs), a multiplexer selects one of the reference voltages which is applied to noninverting input of an operational amplifier. A second resistor network is coupled between the inverting input and output of the operational amplifier, and has a plurality of inputs each exhibiting a respective resistance to the output of the operational amplifier. A demultiplexer couples a current source to one of the second resistor network inputs in response to LSBs (or MSBs). The conversion result is the output voltage of the operational amplifier.
