The present disclosure describes a time-interleaved current-steering digital to analog converter, TI-IDAC, having a first sub-DAC, a second sub-DAC, a load switch and an interleaving switch arranged between the sub-DACs and the load switch. The interleaving switch is configured to interleave between the sub-DACs by control of a connection between the first sub-DAC and an input port of the load switch, and control of a connection between the second sub-DAC and the input port of the load switch. Further to this, the load switch is configured such that the input port of the load switch is connected to a reset load of the TI-IDAC at least when the interleaving switch changes at least one of the connections between the sub-DACs and the input port of the load switch. Associated methods, electronic equipment, integrated circuits, computer programs and carriers are also disclosed.
A time-interleaved current-steering digital to analog converter, TI-IDAC, comprising:
A method of controlling a time-interleaved current-steering digital to analog converter, TI-IDAC, the TI-IDAC comprising a first sub-DAC, a second sub-DAC, a load switch and an interleaving switch arranged between the sub-DACs and the load switch, the interleaving switch being configured to interleave between the sub-DACs by control of a connection between the sub-DACs and an input port of the load switch, the load switch being configured to connect the input port of the load switch to either a reset load or an output load, the method comprising:
(canceled).
A computer storage device storing a computer program comprising instructions which, when executed by a controller connected to an interleaved current-steering digital to analog converter, TI-IDAC, comprising a first sub-DAC, a second sub-DAC, a load switch and an interleaving switch arranged between the sub-DACs and the load switch, the interleaving switch being configured to interleave between the sub-DACs by control of a connection between the first sub-DAC and an input port of the load switch and control of a connection between the second sub-DAC and the input port of the load switch, the load switch being configured such that the input port of the load switch is connected to a reset load of the TI-IDAC at least when the interleaving switch changes at least one of the connections between the sub-DACs and the input port of the load switch, cause the controller to carry out the method, the method comprising:
(canceled).
