Abstract
A switched-capacitor cyclic DAC scheme with mismatch compensation of capacitors is designed. In cyclic DAC, a little error between two capacitors is accumulated every cycle. As a result, the accumulated error influences the final analog output which is wrong data. Therefore, a mismatch compensation technique was proposed and the error can be effectively reduced, which alleviates the matching requirement. In order to verify the operation of the proposed DAC, an 8-bit switched-capacitor cyclic DAC is designed through HSPICE simulation and implemented through magna 0.18um standard CMOS process.
