Abstract :
A novel pipeline digital-to-analog converter (DAC) configuration is described which is based on switched-capacitor techniques. The circuit needs only n+1 capacitors and 4n+1 capacitors and 4n+2 switches for n-bit D/A (digital-to-analog) conversion. The configuration is fast and accurate and requires a small chip area. An experimental 10-bit DAC prototype has been fabricated using a 3-μm CMOS process. The results show that it can achieve high-speed and high-accuracy operation without any trimming
