DAC Performance Specifications
The parameters which describe the performance of a DAC are
divided into:
• Static performance parameters
The static performance parameters describe non-linearity, gain
and offset error. They are usually measured by sourcing a quasi-
static (slow) digital ramp.
• Dynamic performance parameters
The dynamic performance parameters describe harmonic
distortion and noise. They are usually measured by sourcing a
digital sinewave with the typical conversion speed of the DAC.
