  • Patent number: 10615821
    Abstract: A method includes receiving samples of digital to analog converter (DAC), partitioning the samples to unit-DACs based upon previous partitions of inputs to the unit-DACs to cancel out integrated non-linearities of outputs of the DAC caused by the gain mismatches of the unit-DACs, including partitioning samples of DAC input to the unit-DACs through a recursive nth order partitioning algorithm. The algorithm includes, for each DAC input, determining a first partition of the DAC input that would cancel an (n?1)th order previously integrated non-linearity, adding an equivalent DAC input of the first partition to the DAC input to obtain a total DAC input, using a first order application of the total DAC input to the inputs of the unit-DACs to yield a second partition of DAC input, summing the first and second partitions generate a final partition, and, based on the final partition, computing non-linearity remainders at each order of integration.
