Capacitive DACs (C-DACs) are widely used as stand-alone DACs or in an ADC as auxiliary DACs. An important performance metric of a C-DAC is its energy consumption and the linearity between the digital input and the analog output. In multi-bit C-DACs, the mismatch between the capacitors can degrade linearity, which can be important in high-resolution applications. In this work, we analyze the power consumption and linearity performance of a class of C-DACs called split-array C-DACs. We show that the simple element rotation technique, which is widely used to suppress the mismatch error of DACs, cannot be used with the power-efficient three-level switching scheme to effectively suppress the mismatch error. Then, we propose a switching scheme which can be used with the power efficient three-level switching and can suppress the in-band mismatch error effectively.
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.
