摘要
This paper introduces an impedance characterization for a high-speed return to zero (RZ) current steering digital to analog converter (CSDAC). It shows the effect of the cell impedance variation on the RZ-CSDAC dynamic performance. Targeting Gigahertz sampling speed, a degradation of RZ-CSDAC output impedance is presented. Consequently, it represents a limiting factor in achieving high linearity with increasing the sampling frequency. The RZ-CSDAC unit cell is designed and simulated in 45nm SOI CMOS technology.
