What is the resolution of a D/A converter?
It is the reciprocal of the number of discrete steps in the D/A output.
It is the comparison between the actual output of the converter and its expected output.
It is the deviation between the ideal straight-line output and the actual output of the converter.
It is the converter's ability to resolve between forward and reverse steps when sequenced over its entire range of inputs.
