Of several technology and architecture alternatives for >100MHz >lob DACs, CMOS current-steering DAC architectures are particularly suitable. (1) They can be designed in a standard digital CMOS technology, with evident cost and power consumption advantages in the integration with the digital circuits, and (2) They are intrinsically faster and more linear than competing architectures such as resistor-string DACs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
