Abstract:
A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) device includes a DAC circuitry and a calibration circuitry. The DAC circuitry generates a first signal according to least significant bits of an input signal, and generates a second signal according to most significant bits of the input signal. The calibration circuitry compares the first signal with the second signal to generate a calibration signal, and calibrates the DAC circuitry according to the calibration signal. The calibration signal has bits. The calibration circuitry further repeatedly compares the first signal and the second signal to generate a plurality of comparison results when determining at least one bit of the bits, and performs a statistic operation according to the comparison results, in order to adjust the at least one bit, and a number of the at least one bit is less than a number of the bits.
