RDAC CIRCUIT SIMULATION MODEL
The internal parasitic capacitances and the external load
dominates the ac characteristics of the RDACs. The −3 dB
bandwidth of the AD5231BRU10 (10 kΩ resistor) measures
370 kHz at half scale when configured as a potentiometer
divider. Figure 15 provides the large signal BODE plot charac-
teristics. A parasitic simulation mode is shown in Figure 57.
