The IEEE Std. 1658-2023 for Terminology and Test Methods of Digital-to-Analog Converters [Fundamentals of Measurement]

Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) represent the gateway between the digital domain and the real world. As the name suggests, a DAC is an electronic component that converts digital data, typically binary code, into an analog signal. This conversion is essential because, while digital data is prevalent in computing and digital communication, many real-world applications and devices operate in the analog domain [1].
