  • Patent number: 4231020
    Abstract: This invention relates to a digital to analog converter in general and specifically to unitary or monolithic miniature digital to analog converters designed to be fully embodied on a single one-half inch module without requiring external converter components. The digital to analog converter comprises n binary current sources and n two-way switches, n being the number of input word bits. Each switch is driven by a bit input and its function is to steer the current of the corresponding source either into a summing line for output or into a dump line. A primary feature of this converter is the separation of all individual bit converter structures comprising a current source and steering means into two different groups. In this scheme, a first group of converter structures is used to convert the high order bits and a second group of converter structures is used to convert the low order bits.
