In this video, you will learn about the basic DC specifications of precision DACs.  We begin by introducing the ideal DAC transfer function. Then we discuss the errors that cause a DAC to deviate from ideal:

• Offset and zero-code error
• Gain error
• Differential non-linearity (DNL)
• Integral non-linearity (INL)

We finish by discussing total unadjusted error (TUE), which is an effective way to summarize the DC errors of a DAC.
