A Dual Low-power Continuous Calibration D/A Converter (CC-DAC) For Digital Audio

This presentation describes a dual 16-bit low power D/A converter which uses a continuous calibration technique to achieve a S/(THD+N) of 85 dB and a dynamic range of 95 dB. The converter is fabricated in a CMOS process, has a chip area of 3.6 mm2 and is available in an 8-pin SO or DIL package.
