A 12-bit DAC for Space Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a current output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) targeted for spacecraft applications. The DAC uses a switched current design and thermometer decoding guaranteeing monotonic behavior. Radiation Hard by Design techniques are used to mitigate potential total dose and Single Event Latch-up issues. A prototype DAC has been fabricated on a commercial 0.5μm process through the MOSIS service.

Dac for High Speed and Low Power Applications Using Abacus
This paper proposes a Chinese Abacus Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) for high speed and low power applications like audio and video applications. This circuit of DAC uses resister strings to get a good analog output. The designed DAC uses the algorithm of abacus. Instead of using binary code, here we use abacus code to control the switches. So the complexity and the area will be reduced autom...
متن کاملA Self-calibrating current-steering 12-bit DAC based on new 1-bit self-test scheme
This paper presents a self-test self-correction scheme for segmented current steering (CS) DACs. Prior art is critically analyzed. The new scheme improves the DAC linearity by improving the accuracy of the thermometer current sources. The algorithm, which controls the scheme, is described in details. A 12-bit CS DAC, with 6-6 segmentation, is implemented using the new scheme and algorithm. The ...
متن کاملA compact 12-bit DAC with novel bias scheme
A compact and low-power design of a 12-bit binary-weighted current-steering DAC is presented. Instead of 4096 unit current cells, the proposed design uses 192 unit current sources with two reference currents. The silicon area of the generation circuit of two reference currents is very compact as well. The area of the total current source arrays is smaller than four times the area of 6-bit curre...
متن کاملImproving adaptive resolution of analog to digital converters using least squares mean method
This paper presents an adaptive digital resolution improvement method for extrapolating and recursive analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The presented adaptively enhanced ADC (AE-ADC) digitally estimates the digital equivalent of the input signal by utilizing an adaptive digital filter (ADF). The least mean squares (LMS) algorithm also determines the coefficients of the ADF block. In this sch...
متن کاملA Mismatch-Immune 12-bit SAR ADC With Completely Reconfigurable Capacitor DAC
We overcome mismatch constraints of capacitor DAC design in SAR ADCs using a completely reconfigurable DAC with content addressable memory beneath groupings of unit capacitors. We demonstrate a linearity optimization technique in simulation and measurement. We achieve a nearly 2-bit repeatable ENOB improvement with a peak of 11.3 bits.
