[!TLDR]

Bits B3–B0 pass through weighted resistors R,2R,4R,8R to a summing op-amp, giving an output proportional to the binary value.

Each resistor is chosen so that the more significant the bit, the larger the current it injects into the virtual-ground summing node. With logic levels 0 V and 5 V, the MSB (through RR) contributes the most and the LSB (through 8R8R) the least, in the ratio 8:4:2:1. The summing amplifier converts the total current into a proportional (inve …
