PURPOSE: A DAC(Digital To Analog Converter) using a two-dimensional INL(Integral Non-Linearity) bounded switching method is provided to secure linearity at an INL property by minimizing glitch energy. CONSTITUTION: A DAC(Digital To Analog Converter) uses a two-dimensional INL(Integral Non-Linearity) bounded switching method based on a current cell matrix structure. The DAC changes an input digital signal to an analog output signal. The DAC switches current cells, which form each matrix, through a column and row decoding mode. Switching through the decoding method divides a cell matrix to be equal into two from side to side as well as an up and down. The switching through the decoding method preferentially switches the cells which are located in a first quadrant and a third quadrant of the cell matrix. The cells, which are located in a second quadrant and a fourth quadrant, are secondly switched.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for controlling a dynamic range of a DAC(Digital to Analog Converter) input signal are provided to optimize the performance of a DAC by actively controlling the DAC input signal according to the number of channels and operation scenarios. Diffused signals including a plurality of channel signals having predetermined digital gain values outputted by a PN diffuser(202) pass through a gain normalizer(204) before transmission to an LPF(Low Pass Filter)(206). The gain normalizer(204) normalizes the diffused signals of N + m bits with normalization factors in accordance with an input operation range of a DAC(210) to output normalized signals of N bits. The PN diffuser(202) generates the diffused signals of larger bits that is N+m bits by using the gain normalizer(204). The output of the gain normalizer(204) is filtered by the LPF(206) to be transmitted to an interpolator(208). The interpolator(208) interpolates the signals transmitted from the LPF(206) in consideration of the input operation range of the DAC(210) to provide the interpolated signals to the DAC(210). The DAC(210) converts the interpolated signals into analog signals and outputs the converted signals.

An analog-digital converter is provided to reduce a size and power consumption by using a small number of analog elements in comparison with a conventional analog-digital converter. An analog-digital converter includes a measurement signal generator(71), a variable delay unit(72), a fixed delay unit(73), and a delay calculating and data generating unit(80). The measurement signal generator(71) generates a measurement signal(in). When the generated measurement signal(in) is changed from a low level to a high level, a switch(SW) of the variable delay unit(72) connects a ground voltage and a first capacitor(C1). The variable delay unit(72) generates a sensing signal(sen) by delaying the measurement signal(in) for a first delay. The fixed delay unit(73) generates a reference signal(ref) by delaying the measurement signal(in) for a second delay. The delay calculating and data generating unit(80) calculates a delay difference between the reference signal(ref) and the sensing signal(sen), and generates digital data having a value corresponding to the calculated delay difference.
