Definition of Terms
Resolution: Resolution is directly related to the number of
switches or bits within the DAC. For example, the DAC0830
has 2
Linearity Error: Linearity Error is the maximum deviation
from a straight line passing through the endpoints of the
DAC transfer characteristic . It is measured after adjusting for
zero and full-scale. Linearity error is a parameter intrinsic to
the device and cannot be externally adjusted.
National’s linearity “end point test” (a) and the “best straight
line” test (b,c) used by other suppliers are illustrated above.
The “end point test’’ greatly simplifies the adjustment proce-
dure by eliminating the need for multiple iterations of check-
ing the linearity and then adjusting full scale until the linearity
is met. The “end point test’’ guarantees that linearity is met
after a single full scale adjust. (One adjustment vs. multiple

standard zero and F.S. adjustment procedure and is a much
more stringent test for DAC linearity.
Power Supply Sensitivity: Power supply sensitivity is a
measure of the effect of power supply changes on the DAC
full-scale output.
Settling Time: Settling time is the time required from a code
transition until the DAC output reaches within
final output value. Full-scale settling time requires a zero to
full-scale or full-scale to zero output change.
Full Scale Error: Full scale error is a measure of the output
error between an ideal DAC and the actual device output.
Ideally, for the DAC0830 series, full scale is V

resistor for the external op amp which is used to
provide an output voltage for the DAC. This on-
chip resistor should always be used (not an exter-
nal resistor) since it matches the resistors which
are used in the on-chip R-2R ladder and tracks
these resistors over temperature.
