TIME-INTERLEAVED CURRENT-STEERING DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERTER

Abstract: the present disclosure describes a time-interleaved current-steering digital to analog converter, ti-idac, having a first sub-dac, a second sub-dac, a load switch and an interleaving switch arranged between the sub-dacs and the load switch. the interleaving switch is configured to interleave between the sub-dacs by control of a connection between the first sub-dac and an input port of the load switch, and control of a connection between the second sub-dac and the input port of the load switch. further to this, the load switch is configured such that the input port of the load switch is connected to a reset load of the ti-idac at least when the interleaving switch changes at least one of the connections between the sub-dacs and the input port of the load switch. associated methods, electronic equipment, integrated circuits, computer programs and carriers are also disclosed.
