Abstract:
Digital to analog converter architectures are disclosed that enable the binary scaling of transistor sized to be replaced by transistors of substantially the same size. This significantly reduced the size of the Digital to Analog converter on a wafer. As the currents from the lesser bits of the converter may be very small indeed, some of the transistors are operated in a regime where the gate-source voltage applied to the transistor is below the threshold voltage for the device, the threshold voltage generally being regarded as marking the onset of significant conduction through a field effect transistor.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 19 , wherein the second current is a fraction of the first current, and wherein the first transistor is configured as a first current source being associated with a first resistance of a given value, and wherein the second transistor is configured as a second current source being associated with a second resistance, the second resistance comprised of a first part having a third resistance of the given value and that is only in a current flow path to the second transistor and a second part which is in the current flow path with the second transistor and a fourth resistance, the fourth resistance having a value that is a function of the given value of the first resistance and the fraction.
