Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit including at least one first channel type digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and at least one second channel type DAC. The integrated circuit further includes a plurality of sample and hold (S/H) circuits, each of the plurality of S/H circuits being coupled with a single DAC of the DAC circuit. A number of the at least one first channel type DAC is different than a number of the at least one second channel type DAC.
