Abstract: The invention relates to digital-to-analog converters for converting current. The converter includes a pair of differential branches with two transistors controlled by a digital register activated at a clock frequency, and two resistive loads receiving the currents of the differential branches to produce a differential electrical signal representing the analog result of the conversion. The converter includes a dual switching circuit for the currents of the differential branches: a first switching circuit enables the transmission of the currents of the differential branches toward the loads for 70% to 95% of the clock period and shunts these currents outside the loads for the rest of the time; a second switching circuit alternately and symmetrically makes a direct link followed by a cross link between the differential branches and the loads.
