 We will exploit the simple CMOS inverter logic gate as a pair of switches. The digital I/O signals of the ADALM2000 module can be configured as standard CMOS dividers with a +3.3 Volt supply (push-pull mode). In the simplest form, a CMOS output consists of one PMOS device, M<sub>1</sub> and one NMOS device M<sub>2</sub>. Generally the CMOS fabrication process is designed such that the threshold voltage, V<sub>TH</sub>, of the NMOS and PMOS devices are roughly equal i.e. complementary. The designer of the inverter then adjusts the width to length ratio, W/L, of the NMOS and PMOS devices such that their respective transconductance and thus their R<sub>ON</sub>, is also equal. Only one of the two transistors is ever on at the same time connecting the Output to either V<sub>DD</sub> or V<sub>SS</sub>. We can consider these two voltages to be the reference for out DAC. We will exploit the simple CMOS inverter logic gate as a pair of switches.

 When used in what is referred to as "voltage mode" legs the R-2R resistor ladder, figure 2, are alternately driven to either of 2 reference voltage levels based on the digital code (D0-7). Digital 0 for V<sub>REF</sub>- and digital 1 for V<sub>REF</sub>+. Depending on the digital input code V<sub>LADDER</sub> ( in figure 2 ) will be some fraction of the difference between the two reference levels. The negative of the two reference voltages (V<sub>REF</sub>-) is often ground (V<sub>SS</sub>). The positive reference voltage (V<sub>REF</sub>+) in our case here will be the positive supply (V<sub>DD</sub>) for the CMOS driver.  When used in what is referred to as "voltage mode" legs the R-2R resistor ladder, figure 2, are alternately driven to either of 2 reference voltage levels based on the digital code (D0-7).
