    摘要: Capacitance compensation techniques are used to reduce capacitive effects that impact on the performance of current steering circuits (FIG. 1). In an isolation technique (FIGS. 2a-2e), a resistor (R) or a diode (D) is coupled to a data-switched transistor to dampen voltage perturbations associated with the gate-to-source capacitance. In a design variable technique FIGS. 3a-3d), a transistor (PDV) is included in either the output or ground legs of the current steering circuit to provide a design variable to counteract the capacitive effects of the associated data-switched (PDX/NDX) or voltage-controlled (PREF) transistor. In a bipolar substitution technique (FIG. 4), a data-switched bipolar transistor (QDX) is substituted for the data-switched MOS transistor, and made sufficiently small to significantly reduce junction capacitance. In addition, capacitive effects can be reduced by introducing fabrication alterations (FIGS. 5a-5b), such as fabrication layouts in which the source contact is made within a U-shaped gate (FIG. 5a), and in which moat perimeter is contoured (FIG. 5b) for minimal gate area consistent with standard gate/contact spacing requirements.
