A 1.5-V 14-bit 100-MS

Large-area current source arrays are widely used in current-steering digital-to-analog converters (DACs) to statistically maintain a required level of matching accuracy between the current sources. This not only results in large die size but also in significant degradation of dynamic range for high-...
