Abstract

The invention provides a DA (Digital to Analog) converter which comprises a switching unit. The switching unit comprises a first MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) tube, a second MOS tube, a third MOS tube, a fourth MOS tube, a fifth MOS tube, a sixth MOS tube, a first operational amplifier and a second operational amplifier. The operational amplifiers can increase impedances of the MOS tubes at the same side with the operational amplifiers and reduce coupling of a control signal on the output end so as to improve the SFDR (Spurious Free Dynamic Range); and the two operational amplifiers are respectively connected with one MOS tube, so that the effect that when the MOS tubes at one side of the switching unit are switched off, the operational amplifier at the same side with the MOS tubes is also simultaneously switched off without consuming additional power consumption is implemented, and thus, no more power consumption can be increased by the DA converter provided by the invention on the basis of implementing the high SFDR.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, and more specifically, to a digital-to-analog converter. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of digital signal processing technology, digital-to-analog converters have become an indispensable and important module in modern communication systems. It is usually used between the transmitter and the digital baseband processor on the signal channel to realize the conversion function of digital signal to analog signal. [0003] Since the input signal of the digital-to-analog converter is usually a composite signal composed of multiple frequencies, the digital-to-analog converter of the adjacent channel may receive spurious interference, thereby reducing the signal ratio of the channel or even causing channel blocking. [0004] Therefore, when the multi-channel DACs work simultaneously, it is very important that each DAC meets the minimum spurious-free dyna...
