SPLIT PASS DEVICE APPLICATIONS FOR DAC SUPPLY SYSTEMS
The present disclosure relates to power management for digital-to-analog converters (DACs). As electronic devices and the components therein become increasingly smaller to satisfy the desire for more compact/portable devices, the operating voltage may be reduced to reduce the likelihood of shorts and/or voltage/current bleeds. To maintain comparable power output with the reduced operating voltage, the current may increase proportionally to the decrease in voltage. Consequently, in scaled devices and applications, high-current low-voltage regulators may be beneficial. As such, a low-dropout regulator (LDO) including one or more operational amplifiers and multiple pass devices may be implemented between a power supply and the DAC to regulate the power supply to the DAC. Moreover, the LDO may include one or more feedback loops to maintain a desired voltage regulation of the pass devices.

Digital-to-analog converter glitch reduction techniques
A digital technique to reduce or minimize switching in a DAC by using a partial DAC data ignore switching mode. In the partial DAC data ignore switching mode, a control circuit compares first and second data, such a first and second digital words, and operates corresponding switches only when the first data differ from the second data. The techniques are applicable to many types of DACs, including voltage output DACs, current output DACs, variable resistance DACs, digital rheostats, digital potentiometers, digiPOTs.
