Problems solved by technology

[0002] In a traditional current-steering digital-to-analog converter (CurrentSteeringDigital-to-AnalogConverter), if the swing of the input signal or output signal is too large, it may interfere with the bias voltage (BiasVoltage) of the current source through the parasitic capacitance (ParasiticCapacitance) of the transistor. ), thus affecting the output current of the current source
The main disadvantage of the traditional current-steering digital-to-analog converter is that the second harmonic component (Second Harmonic Component) in the output signal is very large, which reduces the output stability of the current-steering digital-to-analog converter

Abstract

The invention discloses a current steering digital-to-analog converter. The current steering digital-to-analog converter at least comprises multiple transistors, one operational amplifier and a resistor. The first transistor and the second transistor are coupled in series between supply potential and an internal node. The third transistor and the fourth transistor are coupled in parallel between the internal node and ground potential. The control ends of the third transistor and the fourth transistor are used for receiving anti-phase control signals and control signals. One end of the fourth transistor is provided with an output node. The resistor is coupled between the output node and the ground potential. The operational amplifier forms a single gain buffer. The output end of the single gain buffer is coupled to the control end of the second transistor. Such a design provided by the invention can reduce signal coupling and decreases second harmonic components output by the current steering digital-to-analog converter.
