Figure 12.42 DACs can be implemented using a weighted-resistance network. (Note: If di = 1, the corresponding switch is to the right-hand side. For di = 0, the i th switch is to the left-hand side.)

Initially, all bits are set to 0 In step 1, the control logic sets MSB to 1 and if the comparator output is high, MSB is set back to 0, otherwise MSB remains 1 The process is repeated for the next bit. After n steps, the process is complete, and the input to the DAC is the digital code for the analog input.
Oversampling A/D converters E(n)=Y(n)-X(n) is defined as quantization noise, Y(n) is the quantized output and X(n) is the input. E(n) is between (-∆/2, ∆/2) Where ∆ is the quantization level. E(n) is typically approximated as an independent uniformly distributed white noise and its power spectral density is k= , fs is the sampling frequency. Therefore, increase the fs relative to the signal bandwidth will give higher resolution than Nyquist sampling converters. Even further, if oversampling is combined with noise shaping, such as in a Sigma-Delta A/D converter, then the resolution could be even higher.
