D/ A Converter Generates Multiple Precision Outputs -  Maxim Application Notes / 30 / Jan-05  (app note added 5/08)
D/A Conversion using PWM & R-2r Ladders to Generate Sine & DTMF Waveforms -  Microchip Application Note Published 26-Aug-97  (app note added 2/06)
D/A Converter ASIC uses Stochastic Logic -  10/24/96 EDN-Design Ideas  To effect A/D and D/A conversion using ASICs, you usually need mixed-signal analog and digital processing. Mixed-signal silicon is more expensive than purely digital circuitry to process and test. In the case of FPGAs,.... [Design Idea by J Quero, C Janer, J Ortega, and L Franquelo, University of Seville, Seville, Spain]
D/A Converter Generates Hyperbolic Functions -  AN-23 Analog Devices Application Notes  (app note added 2/06) 
DAC & µP Implement Hardware Window Generator -  03/31/94 EDN-Design Ideas  A typical DSP system first converts an analog signal to digital, then performs windowing, and finally does a fast-Fourier transform. However, ....[Design Idea added 03/03/03] EDN is migrating links. This link is not verified.  Search the "title" + "EDN" for new link.

DAC & Op Amp Generate Variable Negative Control Voltage -  Maxim Application Notes / 107)4 / Feb-05  (app note added 5/08)
DAC and flip-flops form constant-current-source -  23-Apr-09 Issue of EDN  Using two flip flops, you can program a serial-input DAC to produce a constant 4 mA.... [Design Idea by Marián Štofka, Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava, Slovakia]
DAC and op amp provide variable-control voltage -  6-Dec-01 Issue of EDN  Early DACs contained standard R-2R ladder networks, and produced a negative output voltage. These early DACs, such as the MAX7837/7847 and the MAX523, require both positive and negative supply rails to accommodate their negative output. With the transition to single-supply ICs, however, many modern DACs operate with a single supply rail and an inverted R-2R ladder network.... [Design Idea by Chad Olson, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA]
DAC calibrates 4- to 20-mA output current -  25-Jun-09 Issue of EDN  When your design requires self-calibration, this circuit will perform the task.... [Design Idea by Ronald Moradkhan and Steven Lau, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA]

DC-accurate, 32-bit DAC achieves 32-bit resolution -  30-Oct-08 Issue of EDN  A DAC circuit sums two 16-bit PWM signals via solid-state switches to achieve 32-bit resolution.... [Design Idea by W Stephen Woodward, Chapel Hill, NC]
DDS IC plus frequency-to-voltage converter make low-cost DAC -  5-Feb-04 Issue of EDN  Precision DACs are essential in many consumer, industrial, and military applications, but high-resolution DACs can be costly. Frequency-to-voltage converters have good nonlinearity specifications—typically, 0.002% for the AD650—and are inherently monotonic.  This Design Idea shows how you can use a frequency-to-voltage converter and a DDS (direct-digital-synthesizer] chip for precise.... [Design Idea by Noel McNamara, Analog Devices, Limerick, Ireland]
Deglitching Techniques for High Voltage R 2R DACs -  Maxim Application Notes / 583 / Jun-05  (app note added 5/08)
Design & Layout of a Video Graphics System for Reduced EMI -  AN-333 Analog Devices Application Notes  (app note added 2/06) 
Designing high-current chokes is easy -  24-Jun-04 Issue of EDN  Somewhat unusually, this Design Idea deals with a formula rather than a circuit. You might think that all the basic formulas of magnetic phenomena were discoveredthan a century ago. In fact, they probably were, but, at the time, some were of little practical interest and were essentially disregarded and never included in books or formula tables.... [Design Idea by Louis Vlemincq, Belgacom, Evere, Belgium]
Designing High-Current Vrm Compliant CPU Power Supplies -  10/26/00 EDN-Design Ideas  Modern high-speed microprocessors require fast delivery of enormous supply currents in microsecond time frames, tight supply-voltage tolerance, and intelligent voltage programming. The latest CPU voltage-regulator specifications from Intel and AMD call for load-current slew rates of 50 to 200A/µsec and peak currents of 60 to more than 120A. These demands are transforming the design of portable power supplies to levels almost like those of utility power. The core supply voltage of the CPU must remain within its specified tolerance even when the processor performs a current-load step from nearly 0 to more than 60A in a few microseconds.  This process requires a proper design approach and knowledge of advanced power....[Design Idea added 5/05] EDN is migrating links.

Double DAC rate by using mixers as switches -  5-Feb-04 Issue of EDN  You can effectively double the sample rate of a DAC by interleaving two DACs into a single unit. Updating each DAC on an alternating basis and switching to the appropriate output double the effective throughput of the overall system. It is essential to overall performance that you use a high-quality, high-speed switch in the multiplexing of the DACs' outputs.... [Design Idea by Randall Carver, Analog Devices, Greensboro, NC]
DPPs make nonvolatile microvolt DAC -  31-Oct-02 Issue of EDN  The availability of a seemingly limitless variety of monolithic DAC chips makes it easy to implement most digital-to-analog-conversion applications with a single off-the-shelf device. Sometimes, an unusual set of requirements necessitates a multichip approach, however. One example of such a requirement is the need for nonvolatility of the DAC's setting in power-up and -down cycles.... [Design Idea by Stephen Woodward, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC]
