A novel noise efficient feedback DAC within a switched capacitor /spl Sigma//spl Delta/ ADC

Efficient sampling of the reference noise within a bilinear switched capacitor /spl Sigma//spl Delta/ analog-to-digital converter (ADC), resulting in improved thermal noise performance is presented. Bilinear integrators contain a zero at the Nyquist frequency, with the result that no charge is transferred from the reference when a transition occurs in the modulator output. The average noise power added by the reference digital-to-analog converter (DAC) can be reduced substantially if the reference DAC is sampled only when charge is to be transferred. For midscale inputs, the sampled noise from a single bit reference DAC is reduced by more than 5 dB. When multibit quantization and feedback is used the reference noise can be further suppressed, in the case of 5 bits of feedback the reference noise is reduced by more than 20 dB.     

A 14-bit 1.8-V 20-mW 1-mm2 CMOS DAC

A low-voltage low-power small-area and high-resolution digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for mixed-signal applications is Introduced. A binary weighted current steering DAC is a power-efficient architecture, because almost all the current taken from the supply is used for the output signal. The current steering architecture is also highly suitable for high-speed operation. Typically, the architecture suffers from poor linearity characteristics, but the problem can be prevented with a novel calibration method, where the currents generated for the most significant bits are fine tuned. As a result, a very compact and low-power solution can be implemented by using a low-voltage digital technology

A 12-Bit Nonlinear DAC for Direct Digital Frequency Synthesis

A 12-bit nonlinear digital-to-analog converter (DAC) was fabricated in a 0.35-$mu$m SOI CMOS process. The nonlinear DAC can implement a piecewise-linear approximation to a sine function and results in significant reduction of complexity and power dissipation when used in direct digital frequency synthesizers (DDFSs). The DDFS look-up table only needs to store offset and gain values for each segment. The look-up table size can be reduced from 11K bits to 544 bits for a 12-bit DDFS with 72 dB spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR). The nonlinear DAC consists of a 12-bit binary-weighted offset DAC and a multiplying DAC. The DACs use a current steering architecture for high-speed operation and the 5 most significant bits of the offset DAC are unary encoded to reduce glitches. The multiplying DAC consists of binary-weighted current sources switched by the partial products of the inputs. Test results show that the DAC has 12-bit accuracy after digital trimming, operates up to 600 MS/s and provides differential outputs of 0.5 V into 50 $Omega$ loads. The SFDR is over 60 dBc below 20 MHz with a maximum of 72 dBc. Radiation tests show the nonlinear DAC can tolerate a total ionizing dose of 200 Krad Si.      

DAC Quantization-Noise Cancellation in an Echo-Canceling Transceiver

Data converters, in particular, the transmit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), should not limit performance in a full-duplex digital-communication transceiver. Typically, the number of DAC bits is chosen to be large enough so that the effect of DAC quantization noise on the local receiver is negligibly small. As described in this brief, the DAC quantization noise can be cancelled in an echo-canceling full-duplex transceiver. The proposed quantization-noise cancellation allows use of a simpler, lower resolution DAC. The quantization-noise cancellation concept is described, and simulation results are presented that demonstrate its operation.     

A 300-MS/s 14-bit digital-to-analog converter in logic CMOS

Describes a floating-gate trimmed 14-bit 300-MS/s current-steered digital-to-analog converter (DAC) fabricated in 0.25- and 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS logic processes. We trim the static integral nonlinearity to /spl plusmn/0.3 least significant bits using analog charge stored on floating-gate pFETs. The DAC occupies 0.44mm/sup 2/ of die area, consumes 53 mW at 250 MHz, allows on-chip electrical trimming, and achieves better than 72-dB spur-free dynamic range at 250 MS/s.     

A 14-bit 100-Msample/s subranging ADC

This paper describes a 14-b analog-to-digital converter designed in a complementary bipolar process. Although it uses a fairly traditional three-stage subranging architecture, several nontraditional techniques are incorporated to achieve 14 bits of performance at a clock rate of 100 MHz. For linearity, the most critical of these is wafer level trimming of the first subrange digital-to-analog converter. Prototype silicon exhibits a spurious-free dynamic range of 90 dB through the Nyquist frequency and a signal-to noise ratio of 74 dB while dissipating 1.25 W     

A New Multistage Noise-Shaping Architecture

This paper presents a new architecture for high dynamic range, low oversampling ratio (OSR) noise-shaped digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The instantaneous noise feedforward architecture is a multistage structure in which the instantaneous noise and gain/phase distortion in the first stage are cancelled by passing them through another converter and then subtracting them at the output after analog attenuation. The signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) of a device using this architecture scales as the product of the first noise shaper's SNDR and the ratiometric precision of the attenuator technology. This new architecture was implemented by driving the bits of an existing DAC (with binary weighting) using specially generated digital signals. One set of experimental measurements demonstrates a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) performance of 83 dBc in a 125-MHz bandwidth centered at 325 MHz while using an OSR of only 4. A second set of experimental measurements produces an SFDR performance of 70 dBc in a 125-MHz bandwidth centered slightly above 1.3 GHz with an OSR of 16.     

A dual 10-b 200-MSPS pipelined D/A converter with DLL-based clock synthesizer

A dual 10-b/200-MSPS pipelined digital-to-analog converter (DAC) suitable for communication applications is here presented. Prior implementation limitations have been overcome through circuit techniques. A prototype has been designed using a 4-metal-levels 3.3-V 0.5-/spl mu/m BiCMOS technology and operates on a 3-phase clock synthesized by an on-chip delay-locked loop (DLL). The DAC shows 9.7 effective bits and 70 dB of spurious free dynamic range for a synthesized sine wave of 2 V/sub pp/ at 34 MHz and output rate of 200 MSPS. Altogether, the two DACs, their reference, and the DLL occupy an active area of 2.28 mm/sup 2/ and consume 693 mW at full speed.
