DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERTER
In electronics, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC, D/A, D2A, or D-to-A) is a system that converts a digital signal into an analog-signal
- Binary Weighted Resistors DAC.
- R-2R Ladder Digital to Analog Converter (DAC)
Here we use these two methods only
Binary Weighted Resistors DAC:
A weighted resistor DAC produces an analog output, which is almost equal to the digital (binary) input by using binary weighted resistors in the inverting adder circuit. In short, a binary weighted resistor DAC is called as weighted resistor DAC.

R-2R Ladder Digital to Analog Converter (DAC)
The R-2R Ladder DAC overcomes the disadvantages of a binary weighted resistor DAC. As the name suggests, R-2R Ladder DAC produces an analog output, which is almost equal to the digital (binary) input by using a R-2R ladder network in the inverting adder circuit
