Offset error
age output when the digital input code is zero. This
error affects all codes by the same amount. In the
MCP4725, the offset error is not trimmed at the factory.
However, it can be calibrated by software in application
circuits.
FIGURE 4-3:
4.6
Gain error (see
the actual full scale output voltage from the ideal output
voltage on the transfer curve. The gain error is
calculated after nullifying the offset error, or full scale
error minus the offset error.
The gain error indicates how well the slope of the actual
transfer function matches the slope of the ideal transfer
function. The gain error is usually expressed as percent
of full scale range (% of FSR) or in LSB.

In the MCP4725, the gain error is not calibrated at the
factory and most of the gain error is contributed by the
output op amp saturation near the code range beyond
4000. For the applications which need the gain error
specification less than 1% maximum, the user may
consider using the DAC code range between 100 and
4000 instead of using full code range (code 0 to 4095).
The DAC output of the code range between 100 and
4000 is much linear than full scale range (0 to 4095).
The gain error can be calibrated by software in
applications.

plus gain error. It is the difference between the ideal
and measured DAC output voltage with all bits set to
one (DAC input code = FFFh).

Gain error drift is the variation in gain error due to a
change in ambient temperature. The gain error drift is
typically expressed in ppm/
