Abstract
A low power digital to analog converter (DAC) circuit is presented that is particularly suited for liquid-crystal display driver systems. The DAC according to one embodiment of the present invention uses a dedicated resistive divider chain that is selectively switched between adjacent pairs of coarse analog reference signals to generate finer analog reference signals. In a preferred embodiment, the resistance of the switches are used in combination with the resistive divider chain to form a voltage divider. In the preferred embodiment, the DAC of the present invention uses MOS transistors to implement the switches and the resistive elements in the divider chain.
