Abstract
A digital-analog converter including a first selection circuit of switch elements, which are coupled to each other and to a high potential power supply, and a second selection circuit of switch elements, which are coupled to each other and to a low potential power supply. First and second voltage dividing circuit each include series-connected resistor elements, each coupled between adjacent switch elements of the corresponding selection circuit. A control circuit provides a control signal to the selection circuits to activate one of the switch elements in each selection circuit and couple the activated switch element to the corresponding potential power supply. The first and second voltage dividing circuits divide voltages of the high and low potential power supplies with the resistor elements between the activated switch elements.
