DacErrors
A 8 bit DAC, with a 5 V reference, generates an output voltage of 0V with a code of 310 and an output voltage of 5V with a code of 25310 . What is the offset error and gain error in LSBs
0xFF0
5V
253,3Ideal DAC
0xFD
Offseterror
Output voltage
Slope of ideal DAC = 5/255 = 19.6mV / step
Slope of actual DAC = 5/(253‐3) = 20mV / Step
If the offset error is nulled The an input code of 0 will give 0 output voltage, but a code of 255 will give 255 * 20mV = 5.1V Therefore gain error = 0.1V/19.6mV = 5.1 LSBs The offset error is determined by projecting the actual DAC output back to code of 0. If a code of 310 gives 0V and the slope of the actual DAC is 20mV/step then a code of 0 would theoretically give = ‐3 * 20mV = ‐60mV in LSBs the offset error is ‐60/19.6 = ‐3LSBs
