<Dt> Maximum sampling rate </Dt> <Dd> A measurement of the maximum speed at which the DACs circuitry can operate and still produce the correct output . As stated above, the Nyquist--Shannon sampling theorem defines a relationship between this and the bandwidth of the sampled signal . </Dd> <Dd> The ability of a DAC's analog output to move only in the direction that the digital input moves (i.e., if the input increases, the output doesn't dip before asserting the correct output .) This characteristic is very important for DACs used as a low frequency signal source or as a digitally programmable trim element . </Dd> <Dt> Total harmonic distortion and noise (THD + N) </Dt>
