D/A CONVERTER INCLUDING HIGHER-ORDER RESISTOR STRING

A resistor string digital-to-analog converter includes an input terminal receiving a digital input signal in digital code, an output terminal revealing an analog output signal in analog voltage, a first plurality of voltage-acquisition nodes including a first pair of nodes which is adjacent to each other, a first plurality of resistors being connected in series via the first plurality of voltage-acquisition nodes, a second pair of nodes revealing a pair of analog voltages, a high-order voltage-acquisition circuit providing conduction between a respective one of the first pair of nodes and a respective one of the second pair of nodes in accordance with the digital input signal, a low-order converter generating the analog output signal, which is obtained by interpolating one and the other of the pair of analog voltages in accordance with the digital input signal.
