 		 #58518 - Practical considerations
Responding to: ???'s previous message
"I now need a 16 bit DAC to provide a 0-10V signal proportional to a 16bit value ... The forum search yielded many 12bit DAC discussions..."

Do you really think that bodging together two 8-bit DACs will actually give you 16-bit precision at the output?
I think you'll probably just introduce so much error that it'd be no better (probably worse!) than just using a 12-bit DAC in the first place.
