Abstract: In an embodiment, multiple MDAC stages are coupled in parallel to form an MDAC having the desired gain and capacitor size. Each stage may include capacitors and an OTA that are much smaller than the corresponding capacitors and OTA would be for a large single stage. Interconnect for each stage may be shorter than the single stage case, and thus the parasitic resistance and capacitance may be lower. Power consumption may be reduced, and performance of the amplifier may be increased, due to the reduced parasitic resistance and capacitance. The area occupied by the circuitry may be lower as well. Process variation within a given stage may be lower. The process variation between stages may induce noise in the output, but the parallel connection of the stages may serve to reduce the noise, in some embodiments.
