Abstract
A digital-to-analog converter (DAC). A DAC includes a plurality of DAC cells and a controller. The controller generates a control signal for driving the plurality of DAC cells for each clock cycle. The controller may generate the control signal to select a set of one or more DAC cells for an input code or for a standby mode of the DAC such that the selected set of one or more DAC cells to be active for the same input code or for the standby mode of the DAC change over time without affecting an output of the DAC more than a predetermined limit.
