Embodiments of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a logarithmic
response and methods for converting digital signals to analog are
generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and
claimed. In some embodiments, the DAC includes a wedge-shaped resistive
array having a plurality of linearly-spaced contact nodes and a switching
array to selectively couple one of the contact nodes with an analog
output based on a control signal. Each of the contact nodes may provide a
corresponding reference voltage that varies logarithmically with respect
to the linearly-spaced contact nodes.
