    摘要: The apparatus may be an N-bit DAC including (2M−1) parallel stages associated with M most significant bits, and (N-M) stages associated with (N-M) least significant bits. The (2M−1) parallel stages may deliver a first current to current-summing nodes of the DAC. The (N-M) stages may include a resistive network and a second pair of switches, and may deliver a second current to the resistive network of the stage. Each resistive network may scale the respectively delivered currents according to a binary weight of a stage corresponding to the resistive network, and may deliver the scaled currents to the pair of current-summing nodes. At least one of the (N-M) stages may be separated from the remaining stages.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for a Gigabit Ethernet transceiver that has a Class-B amplifier in a main transmitter for higher efficiency and power handling capabilities. The output current of the main transmitter is produced by a reference voltage applied across a resistor, where the reference voltage generator, resistor and amplifier are fabricated on the same substrate, such that the output current is constant across process voltage and temperature. The transceiver also has a replica transmitter whose signal is used to cancel the main transmitter signal at the input of the receiver section of the transceiver. The replica transmitter is fabricated on the same substrate as the main transmitter, such that its output signal reflects non-linearities in the main transmitter across process voltage and temperature.

    摘要: The linearity of switched-capacitor, pipeline digital to analog converters is improved by balancing the settling behavior of its pre-charge switches. In more detail, a switched capacitor DAC includes a number of substantially identical cells, one cell for each bit of an input digital word. A number of switch driver circuits are used to apply respective switch control signals to turn respective switches on and off. Advantageously, the switch control signals differ by an amount determined to equalize the gate-to-source voltage difference between different switches.
