An 8-bit parallel DAC with segmented architecture

Abstract
An 8-bit parallel DAC with a segmented architecture that employs a 4-bit binary and an unary segments is presented. A switched current source and a thermometric decoder are discussed. A test chip is fabricated using a 180-nm CMOS technology. Measured results show higher conversion rate and smaller chip area in comparison with other papers.
