In this paper, a 12-bit current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) employing a deglitching technique is proposed. The deglitching technique is realized by lowering the voltage swing of the control signal as well as by using a method of glitch counteraction (GC). A new switch–driver structure is designed to enable the effectiveness of the GC and provide sufficient driving capability under a low supply voltage. Moreover, the control signal's rise/fall asymmetry which increases the glitch error can be suppressed by using the proposed switch–driver structure. The 12-bit DAC is implemented in 180 nm CMOS technology. The measurement results show that the spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) at low signal frequency is 78.8 dB, and it is higher than 70 dB up to 60 MHz signal frequency at 400 MS/s. The measured INL and DNL are both less than ±0.6 LSB.

In this paper, a 12-bit current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with high static and dynamic linearity is proposed. Compared to traditional intrinsic-accuracy DACs, the static linearity is obtained by a series of subsidiary DACs which can shorten the calibration cycle with smaller additional circuits. The presented DAC is based on the segmented architecture and layout has been carefully designed so that better synchronization among the current sources can be achieved. The DAC is implemented in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS technology and the current source block occupies less than 0.5 mm2. The measured differential nonlinearity (DNL) and integral nonlinearity (INL) performance is ± 0.3 LSB and ± 0.5 LSB, respectively, and the spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) is 75 dB at 1 MHz signal frequency and 200 MHz sampling frequency.

Abstract. An 8 bit segmented current steering DAC is presented for the compensation of mismatch of sensors with current output arranged in a large arrays. The DAC is implemented in a 1.8 V supply voltage 180 nm standard CMOS technology. Post layout simulations reveal that the design target concerning a sampling frequency of 2.6 MHz is exceeded, worst-case settling time equals 60.6 ns. The output current range is 0–10 μA, which translates into an LSB of 40 nA. Good linearity is achieved, INL < 0.5 LSB and DNL < 0.4 LSB, respectively. Static power consumption with the outputs operated at a voltage of 0.9 V is approximately 10 μW. Dynamic power, mainly consumed by switching activity of the digital circuit parts, amounts to 100 μW at 2.6 MHz operation frequency. Total area is 38.6 × 2933.0 μm2.

The OTA uses bulk-driven input transistors and feed-forward compensation in order to increase the Dynamic Range and Unity Gain Bandwidth, respectively. The paper also presents an equivalent circuit of the OTA and explains how the filter can be modeled using descriptor state-space equations which will be used for design centering the filter in the presence of parasitics. The designed filter offers a dynamic range of 51.3 dB while consuming a power of 237 μW.

In this paper, an 8-bit ultra-low-power, low-voltage current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is presented. The proposed DAC employs a new segmented structure that results in low integral nonlinearity (INL) and high spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR). Moreover, this DAC utilizes a low-voltage current cell. The low-voltage characteristic of the current cell is achieved by connecting the body of MOSFET switches to their sources. Utilizing a low supply voltage along with a low bias current in the current cells results in about 623.81-[Formula: see text]W power consumption in 140-MS/s sample rate, which is very small compared to previous reports. The post-layout simulation results in 180-nm CMOS technology and [Formula: see text]-V supply voltage with the sample rate of 140[Formula: see text]MS/s show SFDR [Formula: see text] 64.37[Formula: see text]dB in the Nyquist range.
