Abstract
A digital to analog converter (DAC) includes: first and second nodes; a first switching device; a second switching device; and a switch control module. The switch control module selectively configures the first and second switching devices such that: in a first configuration, the first switching device connects a first current to the first node and the second switching device connects a second current to the second node; in a second configuration, the first switching device connects the first current to the second node and the second switching device connects the second current to the first node; and in a third configuration, the first and second switching devices disconnect the first current and the second current from the first and second nodes.
