  • Abstract
    By exploring the principle of current division, a ratiometric current-steering rational implementation of a rational digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) is proposed. In this implementation, current scaling is achieved through ratios and, as a result, achieve greater independence from actual physical parameters and their associated non-idealities, resulting in the potential for achieving higher accuracy.
