Transconductance amplifier circuitry

A digital to analog converter (DAC) can include a current mode DAC to receive an OC word from digital logic indicating an amount of current to add to or remove from sources of respective transistors of an amplifier and generate a current based on the OC word, an active output stage including a posit...

Zusammenfassung:A digital to analog converter (DAC) can include a current mode DAC to receive an OC word from digital logic indicating an amount of current to add to or remove from sources of respective transistors of an amplifier and generate a current based on the OC word, an active output stage including a positive current mirror and a negative current mirror to generate a positive current and a negative current based on at least a portion of the generated current, and a plurality of outputs including a plurality of sink outputs and a plurality of source outputs to provide the positive and negative currents to the sources of the respective transistors.
