Dac interface fundamentals

Chapter 5 Testing Converters F - Analog Devices

The resolution of a DAC refers to the number of unique output voltage levels that the DAC is capable of producing. For example, a DAC with a resolution of 12 bits will be capable of producing 212—or 4,096—different voltage levels at its output. Similarly, a DAC with a resolution of 16 bits can produce 216—or 65,536—levels at its output.
