  • Patent number: 11936395
    Abstract: In described examples, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) includes an output, a ground, a reference voltage terminal, an input code terminal, multiple switches, multiple resistors, and a controller. The switches couple to the reference voltage terminal when activated and to the ground when deactivated. The resistors are variously coupled between corresponding ones of the switches and the output, so that activating the switches causes the DAC to output an output voltage. The controller is coupled to the input code terminal and coupled to control the switches. The controller generates an output code based on an input code in response to at least one differential nonlinearity error greater than one least significant bit voltage. The input code corresponds to a first ideal output voltage, the output code corresponds to a second, different ideal output voltage. The controller generates an output voltage by controlling the switches using the output code.

  • Publication number: 20230238972
    Abstract: In described examples, a digital-to-analog converter includes an output, multiple most significant bit (MSB) connector resistors each having a resistance R??R, multiple least significant bit (LSB) connector resistors each having a resistance R, and multiple binary arm resistors each having a resistance 2R. The MSB connector resistors are coupled in a series beginning with the output and ending with a first one of the LSB connector resistors, and the LSB connector resistors are coupled in a series beginning with the first LSB connector resistor. A terminal of one of the binary arm resistors is coupled to an ending of the LSB connector resistor series, and a terminal of each of different remaining ones of the binary arm resistors is coupled between a different pair of the MSB and/or LSB connector resistors.

  • Publication number: 20210194479
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a power-on reset (POR) circuit and a digital logic circuit. The POR has first and second control outputs. The POR circuit is configured to generate a first control signal on the first control output responsive to a supply voltage on the supply voltage node exceeding a first threshold voltage and is configured to generate a second control signal on the second control output responsive to the supply voltage exceeding a second threshold voltage. The digital logic circuit has a first control input coupled to the first control output of the POR circuit and has a second control input coupled to the second control output of the POR circuit. The digital logic circuit is configured to initiate a first read transaction responsive to assertion of the first control signal and to initiate a second read transaction responsive to assertion of the second control signal.

  • Patent number: 10862493
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) core including a plurality of thermometric arms and an R-2R ladder, the DAC core to convert a DAC code to an analog signal. The integrated circuit includes additional components as well. A differential non-linearity (DNL) calibration circuit outputs DNL coefficients based on the DAC code. A memory stores a value indicative of a product of a resistor temperature coefficient (TC) and a resistor self-heating coefficient (SHC). A current DAC (IDAC) couples to the R-2R ladder. A self-heating calibration circuit generates a self-heating trim code based on the value from the memory. An adder adds a value indicative of the DNL coefficients with the self-heating trim code to generate an IDAC trim code and provides the IDAC trim code to the IDAC to trim the R-2R ladder.
