Abstract

See full text

A switched-capacitor DAC system includes two switched-capacitor DACs and a load circuit. The switched-capacitor filter of the first DAC samples a reference voltage source, which produces a reference voltage, at a first rate and the switched-capacitor filter of the second DAC samples the reference voltage source at a second rate, greater than the first rate. The load circuit samples the reference voltage source at a rate such that the level of the reference voltage is the same each time a sample is taken. The load circuit effectively equates the sampling of the two filters and substantially eliminates problems related to gain errors and low frequency quantization noise.
