Load matching for a current-steering digital-to-analog converter

A method for digital-to-analog conversion, comprising:

• receiving, at a first driver of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a first digital input via an input path of the DAC;
• generating an analog output signal based on the first digital input by controlling, via the first driver, a first current-steering transistor and a second current-steering transistor of a first current-steering cell of a plurality of current-steering cells based on the first digital input, the first current-steering cell having a first current source coupled to the first current-steering transistor and the second current-steering transistor, wherein the first current-steering cell further comprises:
• a first transistor having a source coupled to a current source path, a drain coupled to a reference potential node, and a gate coupled to the first driver;
• and
• a second transistor having a source coupled to the current source path, a drain coupled to the reference potential node, and a gate coupled to the first driver
• receiving, via a third transistor of the current source path, a first current at a source of the third transistor, a drain of the third transistor being coupled to the sources of the first transistor and the second transistor;
• and
• providing a second current via a second current source, wherein the first current comprises a first portion of the second current, a second portion of the second current being provided to a second current-steering cell of the plurality of current-steering cells.
