DNL ACCURACY

A Differential Non-Linearity (DNL) error is the measure

of variations in code widths from the ideal code width.

A DNL error of zero indicates that every code is exactly

1 LSb wide.

FIGURE 4-2:

Example for DNL Error.

4.0.3

OFFSET ERROR

An offset error is the deviation from zero voltage output

when the digital input code is zero.

4.0.4

GAIN ERROR

A gain error is the deviation from the ideal output,

VREF – 1 LSb, excluding the effects of offset error.

Circuit Descriptions

4.1.1

OUTPUT AMPLIFIERS

The DAC’s outputs are buffered with a low-power,

precision CMOS amplifier. This amplifier provides low

offset voltage and low noise. The output stage enables

the device to operate with output voltages close to the

power supply rails. Refer to Section 1.0 “Electrical

Characteristics” for the analog output voltage range

and load conditions.

In addition to resistive load-driving capability, the

amplifier will also drive high capacitive loads without

oscillation. The amplifier’s strong outputs allow VOUT to

be used as a programmable voltage reference in a

system.

4.1.1.1

Programmable Gain Block

The rail-to-rail output amplifier has two configurable

gain options: a gain of 1x (<GA> = 1) or a gain of 2x

(<GA> = 0). The default value for this bit is a gain

of 2 (<GA> = 0). This results in an ideal full-scale

output of 0.000V to 4.096V due to the internal

reference (VREF = 2.048V).

4.1.2

VOLTAGE REFERENCE

The MCP4802/4812/4822 devices utilize internal

2.048V voltage reference. The voltage reference has a
