Using MDK Built-in Logic Analyzer to Display Arbitrary Waveforms

Using MDK Built-in Logic Analyzer to Display Arbitrary Waveforms

I mentioned in a previous article about the information on outputting waveforms using the MDK built-in logic analyzer. I found that some people are interested in using the MDK built-in logic analyzer to implement waveform output. Below, I will use the STM32F334 DAC module to output an arbitrary waveform and display the waveform using the … Read more

Linear Accuracy of Resistor DAC

Linear Accuracy of Resistor DAC

1. Introduction Recently, I built an R2R ladder resistor DAC circuit using resistors with a precision of one thousandth. Through testing, the circuit achieved a linear accuracy of 12 bits. Now, I ponder a question: if I reduce the order of R2R, for example to 12 bits, what would its linear accuracy be? Below, I … Read more
