摘要
A novel power-efficient architecture for high-speed D/A converters is proposed. A data look ahead technique is used to pre-switch the current sources so that the DAC current is reduced when generating small voltage levels. Interestingly, this technique also eliminates the need for a pre-driver block for each current-cell, which also saves power. Based on this architecture, a 6-bit DAC is designed in 0.18mum standard digital CMOS technology. The update rate for this DAC is 1GS/s and it consumes only 24mW at 1GS/s.
