    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling a power supply voltage for a switch driver in a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). An example DAC generally includes a plurality of DAC cells, each DAC cell comprising a current source, a first switch coupled in series with the current source at a first node, and a switch driver having an output coupled to a control input of the first switch; and calibration circuitry having a first input coupled to a first DAC cell in the plurality of DAC cells and having an output coupled to at least one of the plurality of DAC cells, the calibration circuitry being configured to sense a voltage of the first node in the first DAC cell and to control the power supply voltage for the switch driver in the at least one of the plurality of DAC cells, based on the sensed voltage of the first node.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for common-mode current removal in a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). An example DAC circuit generally includes a plurality of current-steering cells, a resistor ladder circuit coupled to the plurality of current-steering cells, a first current sink coupled between a shunt branch of the resistor ladder circuit and a reference potential node for the DAC circuit, and a second current sink coupled between a first output of the DAC circuit and the reference potential node.
