Abstract

In this paper, a 12-bit 100-MHz CMOS current steering digital-to-analog converter is designed. In the D/A converter, a driver circuit using a dynamic latch is implemented to obtain low glitch and thermometer decoder is used for low DNL errors, guaranteed monotonicity, reduced stitching noise. And a threshold voltage-compensated current source. The D/A converter is designed with 0.35-$\mu m$ CMOS technology at 3.3 V power supply and simulated with HSPICE. The maximum power dissipation of the designed DAC is 143 mW.
