Abstract

An apparatus relating generally to a current steering cell includes a first bleeder circuit, a second bleeder circuit, a steering circuit, and an output circuit. The first bleeder circuit and the second bleeder circuit are coupled to receive a first current-source bias voltage. The steering circuit is coupled to receive a second current-source bias voltage independent from the first current-source bias voltage.
