Abstract:
Among other things, an arrangement for a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is provided herein. In some embodiments, a metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) array of the DAS comprises one or more cells respectively comprising one or more current sources. The current sources comprise one or more transistors having a horizontal gate layout. A switch arrangement of the DAS, to which the MOS array is connected, comprises one or more transistors having a vertical gate layout. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a DAC is provided which comprises transistors having a vertical gate layout and transistors having a horizontal gate layout.
