发明名称 Gradient insensitive split-core digital to analog converter
摘要 Digital to analog converter circuits and methods are provided for producing an analog output voltage indicative of a digital input signal with at least partial insensitivity to error gradients. Described are split-core resistive elements, which include a plurality of one-dimensional or multi-dimensional resistive strings, that may be used to reduce or substantially eliminate the effects that error gradients have on the linearity of the analog output voltages of a resistive string or interpolating amplifier DACs. The resistor strings that make up the split-core resistive elements are configured in such a manner that combining respective output voltages from each of the resistor strings results in an analog output voltage that is at least partially insensitive to the effects of error gradients.
