hs3160 200 w 400 w figure 2. unipolar operation the most common technique for building a d/a converter of n bits is to use n switches to turn n current or voltage sources on or off. the n switches and n sources are designed so that each switch or bit contrib- utes twice as much to the d/a converters output as the preceding bit. this technique is commonly known as binary weighting and allows an n-bit converter to generate 2 n output levels by turning on the proper combination of bits. in such a binary-weighted converter, the switch with the smallest contribution (the lsb) accounts for only 2 -n of the converters full-scale value. similarly, the switch with the largest contribution (the msb) accounts for 2 -1 or half of the converters full-scale output. thus it is easy to see that a given percent change in the msb will have a greater effect on the converters output than would a similar percent change in the lsb. for example, a 1% change in the lsb of a 10 bit converter would only affect the output by 0.001% of full-scale. a 1% change in the msb of the same converter would affect the output by 0.5% of fsr. in order to overcome the problem which results from the large weighting of the msb, the two msbs can be decoded to three equally weighted sources. table 1 shows that all combinations of the two msbs of a converter result in four output levels. so by replacing the two msbs with three bits equally weighted at 1/ 4 full-scale and decoding the two msb digital inputs into three lines which drive the equally weighted bits, the same functional performance can be obtained. thus by replacing the two msb switches of a conven- tional converter with three switches properly de- coded, the contribution of any switch is reduced from 1/2 to 1/4. this reduction in sensitivity also reduces the accuracy required of any switch for a given overall converter accuracy. with the decoded converter described above, a 1% change in any of the converters switches will affect the output by no more than 0.25% of full-scale as compared to 0.5% for a conventional converter. in other words the conventional d/a converter can be made less sensitive to the quality of its individual bits by decoding. in the sp7516/hs3160 the first four msbs are decoded into 16 levels which drive 15 equally weighted current sources. the sensitivity of each switch on the output is reduced by a factor of 8. each of the 15 sources contributes 6.25% output change rather than an msb change of 50% for the common approach. digital
