Not so when you try to combine two DACs to make one higher >resolution DAC. The main problem with two staggered DAC's is actually that all OCXO's drift and eventually you will have to step the major DAC which will give a glitch in the lower bits, almost no matter how much you calibrate beforehand. The PRS10 uses a staggered DAC internally and the steps on the major DAC are measurable in the output signal. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
