    摘要: Techniques for dynamically selecting circuit elements to combat mismatches are described. In one design, an apparatus includes first, second, and third circuits. The first circuit receives input data and provides first signals that are asserted based on the input data, e.g., with thermometer decoding. The second circuit receives the first signals and provides second signals used to select circuit elements, e.g., current sources, capacitors, resistors, etc. The third circuit generates a control for the second circuit, and the second circuit maps the first signals to the second signals based on this control. In one design, the second circuit includes a set of multiplexers and a control circuit. The multiplexers provides the first signals, circularly rotated by an amount determined by the control, as the second signals. The control circuit accumulates control data (e.g., the input data, pseudo-random data, or a fixed value) with the current control value to obtain new control value.

    摘要: An output stage includes two transistors (switching transistor and biasing transistor) coupled in series in a pullup current path between a VDDA node and an output node, and also includes two transistors (switching transistor and biasing transistor) coupled in series in a pulldown current path between the output node and a ground node. Providing the biasing transistors reduces the maximum voltage dropped across the transistors, thereby allowing the transistors to have lower breakdown voltages than VDDA. An adaptive biasing circuit adjusts the gate voltage on a biasing transistor based on the output node voltage. If the output voltage is in a midrange, then the gate voltage is set farther away from a rail voltage in order to reduce voltage stress. If the output voltage is in a range closer to the rail voltage, then the gate voltage is set closer to the rail voltage, thereby facilitating rail-to-rail output voltage swings.
