Abstract
A self-contained DAC that is especially suitable for use as an IP core, particularly for SOC (System on Chip) implementation. Techniques are applied to employ certain circuits (such as arithmetic element) to perform multiple functions in the DAC, thereby resulting in space saving. Techniques are also applied to employ fewer circuits per functional block to achieve further space saving. By employing multiple clock domains and turning on selective circuits on an as-needed basis, power saving is also realized.
