The first step in selecting and using high-precision D/A converters is to consider the DAC architecture that is best for a given application. Several architectures are available, including oversampled ...

Astell&Kern’s A&futura SE300 DAP utilizes an R-2R Ladder DAC and looks to be an ideal match for the new A&K AURA IEMs that are also making their debut at High-End Munich 2023. Astell&Kern made its ...

The R-2R ladder, a well known resistor topology, is often used to implement a current or voltage 6-dB step attenuator. By appropriately scaling the resistor values ...

Making sound with digital logic usually calls for a Digital to Analog converter. Building one can be very simple, and the sound quality out of an R-2R Ladder is actually pretty good. In the last ...

IGADACT02A is a general-purpose digital to analog converter with 11-bit resolution. The sampling rate is up to 5M samples per second. The IGADACT02A is composed of a R-2R resistive ladder and ...

Sometimes it seems as though digital designers get all of the attention. In all of the excitement surrounding "gigaFLOPS," "22 nm," and such, there's still one crumb of comfort for we non-digital ...
