Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated circuit with at least a first channel and a second channel. Each channel includes at least a DAC. The integrated circuit also includes a number of circuit elements interconnected between the channels. The circuit elements can be changed between a short circuit state and an open circuit state. Normally, each channel will operate independently of one another, using only the circuit components in its respective channel. However, the circuit elements are arranged to allow a user to combine part of the second channel with the first channel to improve the functionality and performance of the first channel. In particular, a state of the circuit elements can be chosen to combine components of the second channel with the first channel. For example, components (e.g. a sub-stage) of the second channel can be connected in parallel with corresponding components (e.g. a corresponding sub-stage) of the first channel.
