my fast incompetent best guess is it's likely back to forth decoding as ::
a DAC with 500k divisions(steps#2) resolution -- as 19-bit DAC , with the OUTP slew rate of 51dB(10^(51/20)=apx.355x)/160ns(step#1) . . . . . . . . . ??? to complete a full scale transition takes 0.5M/355×160ns=255µs = f.max.outp = 1 /(2FStransitons x 0.255ms) = 2kHz triangle wave for full amplitude 4kHz for half 8kHz for quarter @17-bit , 16kHz@16bits , 32kHz@15-bit . . . . . . possible but unlikely (unless the wave form at Hi-Fq. doesn't matter)
