  3. ABSTRACT • A 90 nm CMOS 1V 10-bit 400MS/s digital-to-analog converter. • Current-steering architecture segmented into 6 MSB unary and 4 LSB binary-weighted cells. • 1 V supply for the DAC core and 2.5 V for I/O interface. • Its active area is 0.51 x 0.55 mm2.

  4. INTRODUCTION • Current-steering DACs are considered as an appropriate architecture for high-speed applications. • DACs with excellent frequency-domain performances and update rate beyond 200MS/s are necessary for the requirements of recent wireless communications.

  7. Require minimum unit source area vs. overdrive voltage The p-type high-threshold voltage transistor of more than 35um2 at an overdrive voltage of 0.15V are chosen to alleviate the random mismatch error. >35

  8. Required output impedance of the current cell 1.3M The design was made for both the INL and DNL less than ½ LSB with a SFDR lager than 70dBc. The required output impedance must be lager than 1.3M Ohm to achieve a 10-bit resolution.
