Abstract
A multi-bit DAC based on encoding DC levels in bitstreams is introduced. The DAC converts the multi-bit digital value into bitstreams which are then filtered by an analog filter to extract the DC levels encoded therein. With this approach, one analog path is used for all levels, thus reducing mismatch effects. A prototype IC has been fabricated in a 0.8 μm BiCMOS process incorporating the DAC in a 2nd-order Switched-Capacitor (SC) LP ΔΣ modulator
