Abstract (excerpt)

We propose a novel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) weighting architecture that statistically minimizes the distortion caused by random timing mismatches among current sources. To decode the DAC input codewords into corresponding DAC switches, we present three algorithms with varying computational complexities. We perform high-level Matlab simulations to illustrate the dynamic performance improvement over the segmented structure.
