            Abstract : 
This paper presents a 14-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with pipelined dynamic element matching to eliminate signal-dependent distortions and achieve good linearity at high sampling frequencies. A return-to-zero output stage is developed to enhance the dynamic linearity and increase the output impedance of current sources. And a novel current source array is employed to eliminate systematic and graded errors. The spurious-free dynamic range is 80.9dB at 312MS/s with a 150MHz input. The DAC is implemented in a 0.13-μm CMOS process, and consumes 48mW at 1.2-V power supply and 312MS/s.
