Whiteboard Wizard about DCPs presented by Heather Babcock of Intersil. This is part 2 of two parts. In this part, we discuss DCPs use in place of DACs (Digital to Analog Converters).

Digital-to-Analog Converters and digital potentiometers are often used for system calibration or to dynamically control system parameters.

A digital to analog converter (DAC) is a device to convert an information, in the form of combinations of discrete states, in a voltage or current analog level. They convert signals that have two defined states, on and off, into signals that have a theoretically infinite number of states.
