DECREASING THE OUTPUT STEP

SIZE

Calibrating the threshold of a diode, transistor or

resistor may require a very small step size in the DAC

output voltage. These applications may require about

200 µV of step resolution within 0.8V of range.

One method of achieving this small step resolution is

using a voltage divider at the DAC output. An example

is shown in Example 8-1. The step size of the DAC out-

put is scaled down by the factor of the ratio of the volt-

age divider. Note that the bypass capacitor on the

output of the voltage divider plays a critical function in

attenuating the output noise of the DAC and the

induced noise from the environment.

EXAMPLE 8-1:

Set Point Or Threshold Calibration.
