TIME INTERLEAVED VOLTAGE MODE DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERTER WITH ISOLATION SWITCH
A Time Interleaved (TI) voltage mode Digital to Analog Converter (VDAC) comprises a plurality of subVDACs, the outputs of which are multiplexed by an interleaving circuit to produce an updated analog voltage every output clock cycle. To isolate timing errors, such as clock skew and duty cycle variations, in the interleaving switches from the TI-VDAC output, a series Return To Open (RTO) switch is interposed between the output of the interleaving circuit and the TI- VDAC output. The RTO switch is open while the interleaving circuit switches between subVDACs, and is closed only when a sufficiently stable subVDAC output is present at the interleaving circuit output. In various aspects, further isolation is achieved. For example, a shunt isolation switch may be connected between the TI-VDAC output and a reference voltage, which may be ground or a subVDAC analog voltage (sample) value. The shunt isolation switch operates inversely to the RTO switch.
