A 10-bit 100 MSamples/s BiCMOS D/A Converter

This paper presents a 10-bit Digital-to-Analogue Converter (DAC) based on the current steering principle. The DAC is processed in a 0.8µm BiCMOS process and is designed to operate at a sampling rate of 100MSamples/s. The DAC is intended for applications using direct digital synthesis, and focus has been set on reducing dynamic nonlinearities to achieve a high spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) at high generated frequencies. The main part of the DAC consists of a matrix of current cells. Each current cell contains an emitter-coupled logic (ECL) flip-flop, clocked by a global ECL clock to ensure accurate clocking. A bipolar differential pair, with a cascode CMOS current sink, steered by the differential output of the ECL flip-flop, is used in each current cell to steer the current. The DAC operates at 5V, and has a power consumption of approximately 650mW. The area of the chip-core is 2.2mm × 2.2mm. The measured integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) are both approximately 2 LSB. At a generated frequency of f _g0.1 f _s(f _s = 100MSamples/s) the measured SFDR is 50dB, and at f _g0.3 f _s the measured SFDR is as high as 43dB. The DAC is operating up to a sampling frequency of approximately 140MSamples/s. The DAC uses the hierarchical switching scheme and therefore the dynamic performance is not described well using the conventional glitch energy. A new energy measure that replaces the conventional glitch energy is therefore proposed. This energy measure is especially useful during the design phase.     

A low-Voltage 10-bit CMOS DAC in 0.01-mm/sup 2/ die area

A low-voltage 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for static/dc operation is fabricated in a standard 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS process. The DAC is optimized for large integrated circuit systems where possibly dozens of such DAC would be employed for the purpose of digitally controlled analog circuit calibration. The DAC occupies 110 /spl mu/m/spl times/94 /spl mu/m die area. A segmented R-2R architecture is used for the DAC core in order to maximize matching accuracy for a minimal use of die area. A pseudocommon centroid layout is introduced to overcome the layout restrictions of conventional common centroid techniques. A linear current mirror is proposed in order to achieve linear output current with reduced voltage headroom. The measured differential nonlinearity by integral nonlinearity (DNL/INL) is better than 0.7/0.75 LSB and 0.8/2 LSB for 1.8-V and 1.4-V power supplies, respectively. The DAC remains monotonic (|DNL|<1 LSB) as INL reaches 4 LSB down to 1.3-V operation. The DAC consumes 2.2 mA of current at all supply voltage settings.     

A 12bit 300MHz Current-Steering CMOS D/A Converter

The proposed DAC consists of a unit current-cell matrix for 8MSBs and a binary-weighted array for 4LSBs,trading-off between the precision,speed,and size of the chip.In order to ensure the linearity of the DAC,a double Centro symmetric current matrix is designed by the Q2 random walk strategy.To achieve better dynamic performance,a latch is added in front of the current switch to change the input signal,such as its optimal crosspoint and voltage level.For a 12bit resolution,the converter reaches an update rate of 300MHz.     

A 500-MHz 8-bit D/A converter

The DAC is fabricated with shallow-groove-isolated 3-/spl mu/m VLSI technology with peak f/SUB T/'s of 4.5 GHz. An experimental 8-bit DAC features a conversion rate of over 500 MHz, a full-scale settling time to 1% of 2 ns, rise/fall times of 0.6 ns, and a glitch energy of 20 ps-V without input latches or a deglitcher.

A Heterogeneous 16-Bit DAC Using a Replica Compensation

A highly monotonic very low power 16-bit 2-MS/s digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for high-resolution control loop systems is proposed and demonstrated. Replica compensation is used in improving the monotonicity of a heterogeneous DAC composed of a coarse current steering DAC and a fine resistor-ladder DAC. A complete DAC, including an on-chip bandgap reference and an output buffer, consumes only 0.6 mA with a 2.7-V supply. The 2.19-mm $^{2}$ DAC with 10-I/O bonding pads implemented in 0.18- $mu$m Bi-CMOS process achieves ${pm} 0.8$ least significant bit (LSB) differential nonlinearity, ${pm} 4$ LSB integral nonlinearity, and ${pm} $ 3-mV offset error at 2-MS/s sample rate.      

A 6-bit digital to analogue converter based on current mirrors

In this article, a digital to analogue converter (DAC) based on multi-weighted current sources is proposed. This research requires only three kinds of current sources for a 6-bit DAC. The proposed DAC is implemented by 0.18?µm CMOS technology. The post-layout simulations of integral nonlinearity and differential nonlinearity are 0.076 and 0.099?LSB, respectively. The core area of the chip is 640?µm². The DAC consumes 3.5?mW at the sample rate of 1.6?GHz with a supply voltage of 1.8?V. The specifications of the proposed DAC make it suitable for a portable device.     

A tight signal-band power bound on mismatch noise in a mismatch-shaping digital-to-analog converter

Many applications employ digital-to-analog converters (DACs) to obtain the advantages of digital processing (e.g., low power and physical size, resilience to noise, etc.) to generate signals, such as voltages, that are analog in nature. Given the appropriate numerical representation of its input, the DAC ideally behaves as a linear gain element. However, as a result of inevitable component mismatches, the output of a multibit DAC (i.e., a DAC designed to output more than two analog levels) is a nonlinear function of its input. The resulting distortion, called DAC noise , limits the overall signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and hence the obtainable accuracy of the DAC. Mismatch-shaping DACs exploit built-in redundancy to suppress the DAC noise in the input signal's frequency band. Although mismatch-shaping DACs are widely used in commercial products, little theory regarding the structure of their DAC noise has been published to date. Consequently, designers have been forced to rely upon simulations to estimate DAC noise power and behavior, which can be misleading because the DAC noise depends on the DAC input. This paper addresses this problem. It presents an analysis of the DAC noise power spectral density (PSD) in a commonly used mismatch-shaping DAC: the dithered first-order low-pass tree-structured DAC. This design ensures that its DAC noise has a spectral at dc (i.e., zero frequency) by generating digital, dc-free sequences using the same techniques that have been developed for line codes. An expression is derived for the DAC noise PSD that depends on the statistics of these sequences and is used to show various properties of the DAC noise. Specifically, an attainable bound is derived for the signal-band DAC noise power that can be used to predict worst case performance in practical circuits.
