A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is described having a digital input, an analogue output, and two capacitors. The DAC has a controller. The controller is configured to generate a switching sequence including at least two switch cycles dependent on the input value received on the digital input.

During a switch cycle second phase, the controller switchably couples a ground voltage to the first terminal and the analogue output to the second terminal of both capacitors.
