Abstract: A force/sense voltage-mode DAC coupled with multiple transconductance amplifiers that generate a correction current injected to a node in one of the DAC cells is discussed. The correction current injected into the DAC cell may reduce nonlinearity produced by biasing current to the operational amplifiers in the DAC.

Abstract: A feedback circuit for an operational amplifier is provided, the circuit comprising a first impedance element in a current flow path between an output of the operational amplifier and a first node, wherein a plurality of impedance elements are, in response to a control signal, selectively connectable either between the first node and a first input of the operational amplifier, or between the first node and a further node, and the further node and the first input of the operational amplifier are at the same potential such that a voltage at the first node is independent of the control signal.
