Abstract :
Several techniques for enhancing the performance of interpolating resistor string digital-to-analog converters (DAC) are discussed. These techniques will enhance both static and dynamic performance. The resulting circuit structures compensate for the inaccuracies inherent in the coupling of the interpolator to the coarse resistor string by isolating or eliminating the voltage drop across the coarse tap selection switch.
