Generalised cube-based dynamic element matching algorithms for digital to analogue converters

Abstract

Dynamic element matching (DEM) digital to analogue converters (DACs) often use interconnection networks to implement their DEM algorithms. A hardware implementation of a generalised cube network (GCN) DEM DAC algorithm is described, and this implementation is shown to be more hardware efficient than other GCN-based DEM algorithms when used in DEM DACs with less than six bits.
