Abstract:
A differential output current digital-to-analog converter (IDAC) circuit may include a delta-sigma modulator configured to receive a digital input signal, a control circuit responsive to the delta-sigma modulator configured to perform a DAC decode operation, a plurality of DAC elements responsive to the DAC decode operation, the plurality of DAC elements configured to, in concert, generate a differential output current signal based on the digital input signal to a load coupled to a pair of output terminals of the IDAC, and an output impedance coupled between the pair of output terminals such that the output impedance is in parallel with the load.
