Abstract
A circuit may include a plurality of primary digital-to-analog (DAC) elements for converting a digital input signal into an analog output signal. A control circuit may control each primary DAC element to switch between a first state and a second state based on the digital input signal to provide the analog output signal at an output representing the digital input signal. A plurality of corrective DAC elements may be coupled in parallel to the plurality of primary DAC elements between the control circuit and the output. The plurality of corrective DAC elements may be controlled to mitigate for intersymbol interference (ISI) due to parasitic capacitance in the primary DAC elements. The plurality of corrective DAC elements may not contribute a direct current to the analog output signal.
