    Abstract: A noise filter circuit includes a filter and a transistor off-resistance control circuit. The filter includes a first transistor and a charge storage component. The first transistor has off-resistance when turned off or operated under sub-threshold region. A control terminal of the first transistor is not directly tied to a reference voltage, and is used to receive a first control voltage. The charge storage component has one terminal coupled to a connection terminal of the first transistor. The transistor off-resistance control circuit is coupled to the first transistor, and arranged to set the first control voltage for controlling the off-resistance of the first transistor.

    Abstract: A tri-level digital-to-analog converter (DAC) element includes a first DAC cell. The first DAC cell includes a first reference circuit, a second reference circuit, and a switch circuit. The first reference circuit provides a first reference signal. The second reference circuit provides a second reference signal. The first switch circuit receives a control input from an input port of the tri-level DAC element, and controls interconnection between the first reference circuit, the second reference circuit, and an output port of the tri-level DAC element according to the control input. During a period in which the tri-level DAC element operates in a “0” state, the first switch circuit is arranged to couple at least one of the first reference circuit and the second reference circuit to the output port of the tri-level DAC element.
