    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method and an apparatus are provided for calibrating a DAC. The apparatus calibrates a first DAC element, provides a residual current error resulting from the calibration, the residual current error being a difference between a calibrated current source of the first DAC element and a reference current source, stores the residual current error of the calibrated first DAC element in a first memory module using at least first and second storage elements coupled to a differential amplifier, and calibrates a second DAC element using the stored residual current error.

    Abstract: Circuits, methods, non-transitory storage media can be configured to reduce calibration errors in a signal converter. A digital-to-analog converter can include a calibration circuit configured to calibrate a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) bit element using a residual error from a previously calibrated digital-to-analog converter (DAC) bit element. The residual error can be stored in memory.

    Abstract: A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) includes, in part, a multitude of input stages that supply currents to a pair of current summing nodes in response to a digital signal, and an impedance attenuator coupled between the current summing nodes and the output of the DAC. The impedance attenuator is adapted, among other function, to increase the range of impedances of the output load, to account for changes in the output load impedance due to variations in the process, voltage and temperature, and to decouple the impedances seen by the summing nodes from the load impedance. The impedance attenuator further includes a differential-input, differential-output amplifier with programmable common-mode gain bandwidth to control the harmonic distortion of the amplifier. The impedance attenuator optionally includes a pair of cross-coupled capacitors to control the harmonic distortion of the amplifier.
