Digital-to-analog converter with static alternating fill order systems and methods

An electronic device comprising:

• a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) comprising
• a plurality of cells disposed in a unit cell array,
• a data path configured to communicate a digital signal, corresponding to an analog output of the DAC, to the plurality of cells, and
• static alternating fill order (AFO) logic configured to set a fill order of the unit cell array that alternates unit cell activations for sequentially increasing values of the digital signal between opposing sides of the unit cell array relative to at least one axis of the unit cell array;
• and
• a load configured to receive the analog output of the DAC.

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a digital signal corresponding to an analog output signal of the DAC, the DAC comprising a plurality of cells disposed in a unit cell array and configured to generate the analog output signal;
• generating, via static alternating fill order (AFO) logic, a first partially decoded portion of the digital signal and a second partially decoded portion of the digital signal based at least in part on the digital signal;
• and
• directing, via the static AFO logic, the first partially decoded portion of the digital signal along a first data path to a first set of cells of the plurality of cells and the second partially decoded portion of the digital signal along a second data path to a second set of cells of the plurality of cells such that a fill order of the unit cell array alternates between the first set of cells and the second set of cells.
