Analog and Digital Conversion/Hold Circuits

Hold Circuits Zero Order Hold The majority of DACs have "zero order hold" in their output. After feeding the data into the DAC, the DAC output jumps to a new output voltage. The DAC holds that output voltage constant for the entire sampling time, until a new value is fed into the DAC and the DAC output jumps to that new value. First Order Hold Fractional Order Hold Further reading zero-order hold first-order hold
