R 2r ladder dac circuit diagram. R 2r ladder dac voltage switched. In order to achieve high level accuracy we have chosen the resistor values as r and 2r. Dac methods r2r ladder duration. The inverting input terminal of the op amp work as a summing amplifier for the ladder inputs.
B1 b0 the typical value of feedback resistor is rf 2r. Essential practical circuit analysis. Here only two values of resistors are required ie. Now see the practical circuit arrangement of 4 bit r 2r ladder da converter using op amp.
It works by the principle of superposition where switching on binary inputs adds more voltage at the output. The switch positions decides the binary word ie. R 2r ladder digital to analog converter dac the above figure shows the 4 bit r 2r ladder dac. Monolithic r 2r resistor networks are available from various resistor component manufacturers making it easy to incorporate them into your designs.
V0 v r r f rb12 1 b22 2 b32 3 b42 4. So we can get out put voltage by bellow equation. Columbia gorge community college 124682 views. The r 2r resistor ladder based digital to analog converter dac is a simple effective accurate and inexpensive way to create analog voltages from digital values.
What it is and why you need one so what is an r 2r ladder.
