Digital to analog converter (DAC) is widely used in many modern audio and communication system. Such as: digital TV, and radio transmitter etc.. For the applications, a high speed DAC with suitable resolution is required. In the thesis, a 10-Bit 500MSample/s Current-Steering Binary-Weighted DAC is presented. In order to achieve high linearity and spurious free dynamic range (SFDR), four technique is adopted, including of using binary-weight coding to reduce the circuit area, current source arranging in current source array (CSA) to decrease process variation, using randomization to average non-linearity error, and employing a deglitch latch to improve dynamic performance. For a 500MHz sampling rate, the SPDR of 69dB at 100MHz signal frequency is achieved. The converter consumes total 90 mW. The chip is implemented in a standard TSMC 0.18-mm 1P6M CMOS technology. The converter active area is 0.6 mm2.
