摘要: This paper presents a 6-bit very high-speed, low-power digital-to-analog converter (DAC). It is based on current steering binary weighted architecture and achieves 10-bit static linearity without calibration. Due to the use of pseudo-segmented structure instead thermometer decoder, operating speed can be up 4.5 GS/s. The DAC occupies 0.4 mmtimes0.5 mm in standard 130 nm CMOS technology. A spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) more than 36 dB has been measured over complete Nyquist interval at sampling frequencies 3 power consumption GHz clock frequency for near-Nyquist sinusoidal output signal equals 29 mW .
