发明名称 Digital to analog converter architecture and method having low switch count and small output impedance
摘要 A digital to analog converter includes a coarse resolution resistor circuit (11) coupled between a first voltage (Vin) and an intermediate voltage (V0) to produce coarse resolution node voltages (V0, . . . V240), and also includes a fine resolution resistor circuit (20) coupled between the intermediate voltage and a second voltage (GND). One of the coarse resolution node voltages is selected in response to a group of MSB bits of a digital input (D0,1 . . . ) to produce a first output voltage (Vout2), and one of the fine resolution node voltages is selected in response to group of LSB bits of the digital input to produce a second output voltage (Vout1), the second output voltage (Vout1) and the first output voltage (Vout2) providing a differential analog output signal (Vout1-Vout2). In one embodiment, the coarse resolution and fine resolution resistor circuits are string resistor circuits, and in another embodiment they are modified R-2R networks.
