What are D/A Converters?

D/A Converter ＜What are D/A converters?＞
D/A converters convert digital signals into analog format.
A/D and D/A Requirements
Advances in microfabrication technology require digitization of signal processing, which requires A/D and D/A conversion.
What is Binary?
Binary is a scheme of numbers that only has two possible values for each digit: 0 and 1.
Digital to Analog ＜D/A Conversion Methods＞
Numerous implementation methods exist for Digital to Analog (D/A) converters.
DAC Basic Configurations 1 (Decoder Method)
A decoder is a method that converts a digital signal and then passes it on to another circuit.
DAC Basic Configurations 2 (Binary Method)
A circuit that receives and processes unconverted digital signals is referred to as a binary system.
DAC Basic Configurations 3 (Thermometer Code Method)
As one workaround for output analog signal, the thermometer code method is often used.
