Re: Um...

I believe the number is stored in two's compliment. It doesn't really have a sign bit.

And Steve is right, in fact we could just as easily build a system with no sign, just from 0-65535, and use a single-ended dac and AC couple and get the same results. In fact multi-bit DAC's usually are single-ended and have a current pulldown to zero the output. It still has 65536 states, and the same peak-to-peak swing.
