  • Abstract
    High frequency digital-analog (DACs) requiring an output buffer find a speed limitation in the overall input capacitive load of the buffer. An active scheme for the compensation of such a load, including the parasitic capacitances coming from reversely biased junctions associated with analog switches is presented. Computer simulations on a given architecture (10-b DAC) show the effectiveness of the proposed approach
