Abstract :
A new high-resolution switched-capacitor algorithmic digital-to-analogue (D/A) convertor is described. It employs a novel voltage division technique to reduce errors owing to capacitor mismatch. This increases the linearity limit imposed by capacitor mismatch to 16 bits or more. The circuit possesses all the attractive features of the conventional algorithmic D/A convertors.
