    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-speed processable secondary digital/analog converter(DACQ) which does not increase current consumption but rather decreases current consumption. SOLUTION: A DACQ composed of a pair of serially connected 1st and 2nd linear converter (DAC) has direct coupling between the output node of 1st DAC 1 and the R-2R type resistor circuit network of 2nd DAC 2, corresponding to the LSB step of R-2R type resistor circuit. A high impedance node, especially the input node of 2nd DAC is appropriately removed from a current path, so as to significantly reduce the problem of comparatively long settling time at the high impedance node (having a related originally large parasitic capacitance). The circuit is markedly simplified by the special architecture of this DACQ.
