摘要: The integral nonlinearity (INL) yield of any arbitrarily segmented digital-to-analog converter (DAC) has not been accurately modeled and requires long simulation time. This paper proposes an intuitive formulation the INL that leads to a simple accurate relation between variation unit source element DAC with only few fitting parameters. These parameters can be determined for varying number bits segmentation. A table is provided directly applied determine without additional simulation. validity model demonstrated measured current distributions from current-steering fabricated in 90-nm CMOS technology.
