PWM voltage divider

Considerations when using PWM circuits include Ron and Roff resistances,  rise and fall times of switches (differing times cause a bias offset) and charge injection effects (add offset), among others.  I am looking for circuit information for PWM dividers myself.  Does anyone have sources for the Fluke 5440 manual and the Datron 4910 manuals with schematics.  I looked on K04BB's site and Fluke's site  but all I could find were user manuals with no schematics.

Another cirquit that was not mentioned  up to now is the EDN Cirquit

The advantage is relative low effort and fast settling time. (for a PWM
solution)
Although you have to tweak the
cirquit to get a fair linearity of around
2-3 ppm.
(The values in the article seem to be very optimistic to me).
Also the noise behaviour of my setup is not as good as would be a dual
dac version.

With best regards

I'm thinking of using a PWM divider for voltage generation of adjustable DC
voltages from a voltage reference.

Does anyone have any pointers to circuits, solutions, topologies, error
analysis etc. for such solutions?
