Abstract:
A digital-to-analog converter for generating an analog output voltage in response to a digital value comprising a plurality of bits, the converter including: (i) a first switched resistor network having a first configuration and for converting a first input differential signal into a first analog output in response to a first set of bits in the plurality of bits; and (ii) a second switched resistor network, coupled to the first switched resistor network, having a second configuration, differing from the first configuration, and for converting a second input differential signal into a second analog output in response to a second set of bits in the plurality of bits.

Claim (Index 15):
The converter of  claim 1 , wherein the third switched resistor network is for converting a third input differential signal into a third analog output in response to a third set of an integer N bits in the plurality of bits, wherein the third switched resistor network comprises:\n an integer number 2 N  of resistors connected in a series string; the integer number 2 N  of transistors, wherein each transistor in the integer number 2 N  of transistors has:\n a first terminal connected to a respective terminal of one of the integer number 2 N  of resistors; and \n a second terminal for selectively enabling a respective transistor to output a voltage from the first terminal connected to a respective terminal of one of the integer number 2 N  of resistors; and \n is connected in a serpentine fashion dividing the series string into a number of sets of resistors corresponding to respective rows of resistors and wherein resistors at non-terminal ends of a one of said rows have a same columnar connection via a respective transistor in the integer number 2 N  of transistors; and \n a serpentine decoder for selectively enabling one of the integer number 2 N  of transistors at a time.
