  • Question

  • What is the linearity of a D/A converter?


  • Options
  • A. It is the reciprocal of the number of discrete steps in the D/A output.
  • B. It is the comparison between the actual output of the converter and its expected output.
  • C. It is the converter's ability to resolve between forward and reverse steps when sequenced over its entire range of inputs.
  • D. It is the deviation between the ideal straight-line output and the actual output of the converter.

  • Correct Answer
  • It is the deviation between the ideal straight-line output and the actual output of the converter.
