A digital-analog converter for producing less distorted output waveforms without the need for an increase in the operating speed of components. A D/A converter 1 comprises a memory 10, an address counter 12, a B spline function generation circuit 14, four sampling function generation circuits 16, three delay circuits 18, four amplifiers 20, and three adding circuits 22, 24 and 26. Four items of digital data supplied one after another in the predetermined time interval T are stored in the memory 10. The gain of each of the four amplifiers 20 is set according to the corresponding digital data. The four sampling function generation circuits 16 generate signal waveforms of the sampling function, which appear individually in points a time T away from one another. The signal waveforms are amplified in the amplifier 20 and added to produce an analog signal associated with the interpolation value.
