  • Abstract
    A 12-bit 125-MHz digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for communication application is designed. It is based on current-steering segmented architecture and modified Q2 random walk switching scheme to obtain 12-bit accuracy. A new voltage swing reduced driver (VSRD) is implemented to promote the dynamic performance. The DAC uses 0.18 µm 1.8 V standard digital CMOS technology. The die area (core) is 2.7 × 2.1mm2 and power consumption is 37.1mA.
