Optimal Switching Sequences for One-dimensional Linear Gradient Error Compensation in unary DAC Arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gradient error can be compensated by optimizing switching sequences of DAC arrays. This paper establishes an absolute lower bound of integral nonlinearity (INL) which may be achieved by optimizing switching sequences. Optimal switching sequences that meet this lower bound are presented for one-dimensional linear gradient error compensation in unary (thermometer decoded) DAC arrays. The sequences can be used in row-column decoded current or capacitor unary arrays as well as R-string DACs, where the switching sequence is optimized in one dimension.

Balanced Switching Schemes for Gradient-Error Compensation in Current-Steering DACs
This paper introduces balanced switching schemes to compensate linear and quadratic gradient errors, in the unary current source array of a current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC). A novel algorithm is proposed to avoid the accumulation of gradient errors, yielding much less integral nonlinearities (INLs) than conventional switching schemes. Switching scheme examples with different n...

This paper presents a 12-bit 150-MHz current steering DAC with hierarchical symmetrical switching sequence that compensates gradient errors. The circuit of the DAC employs segmented architecture; the least significant bits (LSBs) steer a binary weighted array, while the most significant bits (MSBs) are thermometer decoded and steer a unary array. The measured differential nonlinearity and integ...

The idea of using quasi-linear piecewise models has been established on the decomposition of complicated nonlinear systems, simultaneously designing with local controllers. Since the proper performance and the final system close loop stability are vital in multi-model controllers designing, the main problem in multi-model controllers is the number of the local models and their position not payi...

متن کامل$k$-Error linear complexity for multidimensional arrays
In this paper, we focus on linear complexity measures of multidimensional sequences over finite fields, generalizing the one-dimensional case and including that of multidimensional arrays (identified with multidimensional periodic sequence) as a particular instance. A cryptographically strong sequence or array should not only have a high linear complexity, it should also not be possible to decr...
