THE DRAFT-IEEE-STD-1658-2011 FOR DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTERS

Steven J. Tilden, Solomon M. Max

Abstract

The Draft IEEE Standard 1658-2011 entitled “Terminology and Test Methods for Digital-to-Analog Converters” (DAC’s) defines terminology and specifications and describes test methods for measuring the performance of DAC’s. The standard is written for manufacturers and users of DAC’s for use in both static and dynamic applications. The main purpose of this standard is to ensure that manufactures and users of DAC’s have a well-defined set of terms, specifications and test methods so they can understand, describe, and compare the performance of these D/A converters using a common language, with clear definitions. Draft IEEE-Std-1658- 2011 was created by the Digital-to-Analog Converter Subcommittee of Technical Committee 10 (TC-10) Waveform Generation, Measurement, and Analysis. TC-10 is part of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society. This paper will describe some major sections and highlights of this new draft standard.
