4-Bit R-2R DAC Design Using Op-Amp

This document describes the design of a 4-bit R-2R digital-to-analog converter (DAC) using an operational amplifier. It includes the components required, the circuit diagram, theory of operation explaining how the R-2R network generates voltages from a 4-bit binary input, procedures to test the circuit, and results verifying that the theoretical and practical output voltages match. It also details modifying the circuit to generate the digital inputs from a mod-16 counter instead of toggle switches.
