Comparison of High-Order Programmable Mismatch Shaping Bandpass DEM Implementations Applicable to Nyquist-Rate D/A Converters

Non-shaping dynamic element matching (DEM) randomization schemes are widely adopted for wideband Nyquist-rate digital-to-analog converters (DACs) within transmitter architectures. Here, randomization translates the mismatch-induced distortion into white noise from dc to <inline-formula> <te...
