Abstract

A capacitive digital to analog converter (DAC) includes a first switching device that receives first, second, third, and fourth reference potentials at respective inputs and that selectively connects one of the first, second, third, and fourth reference potentials to a first output. The first and second reference potentials are approximately equal. The third and fourth reference potentials are approximately equal. A first capacitor is connected between the first output and a common node. A second switching device receives the first, second, third, and fourth reference potentials at respective inputs and selectively connects one of the first, second, third, and fourth reference potentials to a second output. A second capacitor is connected between the second output and the common node.
