4-bit high speed R-2R Ladder Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) design is presented in this paper. The high speed DAC design uses a high speed InGaAs/GaAs HEMT device in its summer block. This paper justifies the use of HEMT devices for high speed converter applications. A detailed analysis of the DAC parameters and errors is presented. DAC performance up to 20GHz is presented and it shows very ...

Ali K. Nahar University of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering Abstract A first order of DWA (data weighted averaging) technique is proposed to improve 6-bit digital-to-analog convertor (DAC). In addition, this paper discusses the impact of mismatch between DAC unit elements. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the DWA technique in reduction of inband tones, also DWA t...

In this paper implementation of All digital PID controller using Field Programmable Gate array (FPGA) is presented. Nowadays embedded control applications requires low power and fast acting PID controllers with a closed loop performance using less resources, resulting in cost reduction. In digital PID controller error signal is generated by using comparator which is analog in nature. By using A...

Progress of roles and schemes of calibration techniques in data converters are reviewed. Correction techniques of matching error and nonlinearity in analog circuits have been developed by digital assist using high-density and low-power digital circuits. The roles of the calibration are not only to improve accuracy but also to reduce power dissipation and chip area. Among various calibration sch...

The circuit employs 9 operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) and CMOS transistors as switching circuit. The proposed DAC is simulated using SPICE simulation program with 3μm CMOS technology. Simulation results shows verify good performance of the circuit.

1. ABSTRACT New waveform requirements are pushing the limits of traditional modem design techniques. Fortunately, modern Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) and Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) can achieve sampling rates in the GHz range. These new DACs and ADCs allow designers to directly synthesize channels that have bandwidths of more than 500 MHz+; allowing either wideband or multi-channel m...

A new digital calibration scheme for a 14 bit binary weighted current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is presented. This scheme uses a simple current comparator for the current measurement instead of a high-resolution ADC. Therefore, a faster calibration cycle and smaller additional circuits are possible compared to the scheme with the high-resolution ADC. In the proposed calibration...
