چکیده
A CMOS 8-bit binary type current steering Digital to Analog Converter DAC with dynamic random return to zero technique to improve dynamic performance is presented in this paper. Current steering DAC has advantage of constant output impedance and high conversion rate. To demonstrate the proposed technique, 8 bit CMOS DAC is designed and layout is prepared in 90 nm technology. Computation of Integral Non Linearity (INL) and Differential Non Linearity (DNL) performance parameter is done. Chip layout consumes 57 mW power and 5483 (μm) 2 area.

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 ...

This paper presents a novel Current Steering Digital to Analog Converter architecture to reduce area as well as power dissipation. The current cells of conventional binary weighted architecture require larger size of transistors for MSBs. In this paper, same sized current cell transistors for MSBs as that of LSBs and a current mirror circuit is used between the load and MSBs to provide necessar...

This paper presents a new DAC design strategy to achieve a wideband dynamic linearity by increasing the bandwidth of the output impedance. In order to reduce the dominant parasitic capacitance of the conventional matrix structure, all the cells associated with a unit current source and its control are stacked in a single column very closely (stacked unit cell structure). To further reduce the p...
