Abstract

A Fourier technique is developed that relates a digital to analog converter's (DAC's) characteristic to its output spectrum and a DAC's integral nonlinearity to its distortion. Therefore, a DAC's spurious free dynamic range, signal to distortion ratio and signal to noise plus distortion ratio can be calculated from its characteristic.
