Analysis and Design of a Tri-Level Current-Steering DAC With 12-Bit Linearity and Improved Impedance Matching Suitable for CT-ADCs

This paper presents the design of a low-latency, highly linear current-steering DAC for use in continuous-time ADCs. A detailed analysis of equivalent unary-weighted current-steering DAC topologies in terms of mismatch, noise, and output-impedance related distortion is carried out. From this analysi...
