Abstract
It is an objective to provide a digital-to-analog converter circuit that allows the value of the current output from each current source cell to be identical, regardless of the position of that current source cell relative to the power supply line. To ensure that the voltages supplied to the respective current source cells are identical, the power supply lines La and Lb are disposed in the form of a right triangle modified such that their line widths W and W become constantly narrower on one side depending on the position at which the power supply lines La and Lb are formed. The power supply lines La and Lb are also disposed such that their hypotenuses are opposite to each other.
