Low cost monotonic digital-to-analog converter

摘要

A digital-to-analog converter generates an analog output signal which is subject to periodically occurring non-monotonic increments in response to consecutive increments of the value of a digital word. Apparatus in accordance with the present invention substantially reduces effects of the non-monotonic increments from disturbing the analog output signal by rapidly incrementing the value of the digital word after the occurrence of each of said non-monotonic increments.
