An n-bit digital/analog converter is provided for converting an n-bit
digital word to a corresponding voltage. The converter comprises an (n-1)
bit bufferless switched capacitor digital/analog converter (10) having an
output (V.sub.out) for direct connection to a capacitive load
(C.sub.LOAD). The (n-1) bit converter (10) also has first and second
reference voltage inputs (V.sub.1, V.sub.2) and an (n-1) bit digital
input. An (n-1) bit selective inverter (13.sub.1, . . . , 13.sub.n-1,
14.sub.1, . . . , 14.sub.n-1) supplies the (n-1) least significant bits
to the digital input and inverts them if the most significant bit has a
certain value. A switching arrangement (11, 12) connects the first and
second reference voltage inputs (V.sub.1, V.sub.2) to receive first and
second or second and first reference voltages depending on the value of
the most significant bit.
