Abstract
A digital-to-analog conversion circuit operates by selectively charging or discharging members of a plurality of capacitors. Charging of the capacitors occurs during a reset period while digital-to-analog conversion occurs as the capacitors are discharged. Those capacitors that are charged or discharged are selected from the plurality of capacitors based on a digital input. The analog output includes the charge discharged from the selected capacitors.
