A segmented digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is disclosed. In the present invention, the segmented DAC of the present invention comprises a signal component processing stage and a plurality of noise component processing stages cascaded with the signal component processing stage. A noise component of an input word for the DAC is split into a plurality of portions to be processed. By doing so, effect due to gain mismatch(es) in an analog portion of the DAC can be effectively reduced without significantly increasing DAC cells used in the DAC
