Zusammenfassung:A highly monotonic very low power 16-bit 2-MS/s digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for high-resolution control loop systems is proposed and demonstrated. Replica compensation is used in improving the monotonicity of a heterogeneous DAC composed of a coarse current steering DAC and a fine resistor-ladder DAC. A complete DAC, including an on-chip bandgap reference and an output buffer, consumes only 0.6 mA with a 2.7-V supply. The 2.19-mm 2 DAC with 10-I/O bonding pads implemented in 0.18-mum Bi-CMOS process achieves plusmn0.8 least significant bit (LSB) differential nonlinearity, plusmn4 LSB integral nonlinearity, and plusmn3-mV offset error at 2-MS/s sample rate.
