Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The DAC includes an output node and a plurality of equal sized cell transistors. Each of the plurality of equal sized cell transistors represents a distinct bit, the distinct bits including a least significant bit (LSB). The plurality of equal sized cell transistors are connected to the output node. The DAC includes at least one control circuit configured to modify a back gate voltage of one of the equal sized cell transistors representing the LSB to adjust a current output.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reducing the amount of leakage in a transmitter are disclosed. In one embodiment, a wireless transmitter is comprises: a divider providing a local oscillation (LO) signal, a plurality of mixers that receive the LO signal and receive a signal to be modulated, a summer coupled to the plurality of mixers, and a plurality of amplifiers serially coupled to the summer. The divider couples to a capacitor, a resistor, and a power supply and the resistor and the capacitor form a pole that attenuates the LO signal present on the power supply.
