  A Standards Lab Grade 20-Bit DAC with 0.1ppm/В° Drift: The Dedicated Art of Digitizing One Part Per Million &mdash AN86
  PDF, 540 Kb, File published: Jan 1, 2001
  This publication details a true 1ppm D-to-A converter. Total DC error of this processor corrected DAC remains within 1ppm from 18-32°C, including reference drift. DAC error exclusive of reference drift is substantially better. Construction details and performance verification techniques are included, along with a complete software listing.

  F. Oprescu INTRODUCTION
  Significant progress in high precision, instrumentation
  grade D-to-A conversion has recently occurred. Ten years
  ago 12-bit D-to-A converters (DACs) were considered
  premium devices. Today, 16-bit DACs are available and
  increasingly common in system design. These are true
  precision devices with less than 1LSB linearity error and
  1ppm/В°C drift.1 Nonetheless, there are DAC applications
  that require even higher performance. Automatic test
  equipment, instruments, calibration apparatus, laser trimmers, medical electronics and other applications often
  require DAC accuracy beyond 16 bits. 18-bit DACs have
  been produced in circuit assembly form, although they are
  expensive and require frequent calibration. 20 and even
  23+ (0.1ppm!) bit DACs are represented by manually
  switched Kelvin-Varley dividers. These devices, although …

  A/D Converter
  Help from the Nineteenth Century
  by Jim Williams
  Introduction
  Verifying the linearity of the LTC2400 analog to digital
  converter requires special considerations. Typical
  nonlinearity is only 2ppm (0.0002%). Bench testing this
  necessitates some form of voltage source that produces
  equal amplitude output steps for incremental digital inputs. Additionally, for measurement confidence, it is desirable that the source be substantially more linear than
  the 2ppm requirement. This is, of course, a stringent
  demand and painfully close to the state of the art. follower is required to unload the KVD without introducing
  significant loading error. Now, our KVD looks like Figure 3.
  10k 2k 400Ω 80Ω INPUT The most linear “D to A” converter is also one of the oldest:
  Lord Kelvin’s Kelvin-Varley divider (KVD), in its most
  developed form, is linear to 0.1ppm. This manually switched
  device features ten million individual dial settings arranged in seven decades. It may be thought of as a
  3-terminal potentiometer with fixed “end-to-end” resistance and a 7-decade switched wiper position (Figure 1). R = 100k 80Ω
