i.MX RT1020 16-bit resolution PWM

I wanna use the 16-bit resolution PWM output as a Digital-to-Analog Converter.

Compared with the conventional 16-bit resolution DAC, is there any difference in terms of the "accuracy" ?

Hi Fun

in conventional DAC "accuracy" is defined by precision reference voltage,

while using pwm one need take into account stability pwm frequency or

filtering components.

Thanks, assume that the PWM frequency stability and the filtering components have been adjusted very well, can the PWM output achieve the same "accurary" with the conventional DAC ?

Gentleman, are you still there ? as to the filtering components, do you refer to the filters inside RT1020, or,  we should design the filtering circuits outside RT1020 ?

seems better to design the filtering circuits outside RT1020.
