Abstract
A converter, of the type having an R-2R resistive network and switches, is used to convert a digital signal of n-bits into an analog signal. A plurality of first interconnectors is used to electrically connect a first switch input of one of the switches to a first voltage reference node by separately extending directly therebetween. A plurality of second interconnectors is used to electrically connect a second switch input on the same one of the switches to a second voltage reference node is a similar fashion.
