Follow Us The versatile R-2R ladder attenuator can be used as either a voltage or a currnet source, and it may be used in either a current-steering or a voltage-switching mode. Figure 1a shows the familiar connection of a CMOS d/a converter, such as the 10-bit AD7520, in the current-steering mode; Figure 1b shows how the DAC can be connected for voltage switching by reversing the roles of the MSB node (REF/AIN) and the active switch bus (OUT 1).
