  • Patent number: 11916562
    Abstract: A current steering digital-to-analog converter includes a plurality of current cells each including a current source circuit and a current switch circuit to selectively output a current in response to a first input signal corresponding to a digital signal; a dummy current cell including a dummy current source circuit and a dummy current switch circuit to output a current in response to a second input signal; and a current switch bias circuit coupled to the dummy current cell to track a first voltage of an internal node of the dummy current source circuit and configured to generate a first bias voltage applied to the current switch circuit.

  • Patent number: 11870471
    Abstract: A digital radio frequency (RF) transmitter including processing circuitry configured to generate first through third pattern signals based on a pattern of an inphase (I)-quadrature (Q) binary data pair and a pattern of an inverted I-Q binary data pair, the first through third pattern signals having a same pattern and different phases, and a switched-capacitor digital-to-analog converter (SC-DAC) configured to remove an n-th harmonic component of an RF analog signal by amplifying the first through third pattern signals to have a certain magnitude ratio and synthesizing the amplified first through third pattern signals into the RF analog signal, where “n” is an integer of at least 3, may be provided.
