An on-resistance value of a MOS transistor included in the switch (301) is set to be larger than an on-resistance value of a MOS transistor included in the switch unit (SWu40).

    摘要: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide digital-to-analog conversion of signals while minimizing switching related errors. Digital to analog converter (DAC) cells may be arranged to include one or more operating states in addition to binary output states, and may employ a switching technique to "dump" the DAC cell between binary outputs. Further, an array of DAC cells may include a partial set of redundant DAC cells for implementation of the switching technique.

    摘要: A digital-to-analog converter is disclosed. The converter includes a gradient correction module that generates a correction term based on a model of gradient error. The correction term is then applied to the signal path in the digital domain or applied to the output of the digital-to-analog converter in the analog domain. The model used to generate the correction term is based on a vertical gradient error in the array of current source elements, which may be modelled and calibrated using a second-order polynomial. Further, a digital-to-analog converter having a Nyquist DAC and an oversampled DAC is disclosed. When the oversampled DAC is enabled, the resolution of the Nyquist DAC may be increased while slowing the conversion rate.

    摘要: A digital/analogue converter for converting an input n-bit digital code (n >1), comprising: a switched capacitor digital/analogue converter (14) having a plurality of capacitors (C1...Cn). The lower plate of each is connectable, dependent on the input digital code, to either a first reference voltage (V2) or a second reference voltage (V3) different from the first reference voltage. The converter also comprises at least one further capacitor (CP), and a switching arrangement (18,19) for connecting the lower plate of the or each first further capacitor to either a third reference voltage or a fourth reference voltage different from the third reference voltage. The input to the first switching arrangement is independent of the input digital code. In the decoding phase, the output voltage floats to a voltage that depends on both the input data code and the direction and magnitude of charge injection across the further capacitor(s) (CP).
