Please referring to Fig. 1, it is the analog signal generator structure chart of No. the 4446436th, United States Patent (USP); By understanding among the figure, the node voltage on the resistance string must can be delivered to output through three groups of switches; Because the equivalent resistance of switch can influence the quality of output signal; So through the more organizing switch; Its equivalent resistance is bigger, and the distortion that is caused is also bigger.
Secondly, known digital analog converter uses NMOS or PMOS to do diverter switch more, because the operating voltage range of PMOS and NMOS is little, makes part can't not pass through this switch at the signal of its conducting scope, and serious distortion phenomenon is arranged.
In addition; The equivalent resistance of PMOS and NMOS can change with the change of supply voltage, does diverter switch with pMOS or NMOS, and is voltage-operated down in different electrical power; The output signal of gained has different characteristic (Performance).
Moreover, by PMOS or diverter switch that NMOS constituted; The output buffer that it connected must have certain limitation can reach the purpose of impedance matching; Generally speaking, restriction because of PMOS and NMOS self character, its institute's energy Continuity signal scope is narrower and small and differing from each other, add the consideration of input common-mode range (InPutCommon Mode Range) from operational amplifier, with PMOS is diverter switch, and the output buffer of its connection is the operational amplifier of a NMOS input; And be diverter switch with NMOS; The output buffer of its connection is good with the operational amplifier of a PMOS input then.
Main purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of digital analog converter that is applicable to extensive supply voltage scope.

The Gray code that Fig. 5 is produced by the present invention's ring counter.
Fig. 6 is the control signal of the present invention's Gray code through a decoder output.
See also Fig. 2, the present invention's digital analog converter, its control code generator 30 receives a pulse signal, its output 1-16 is connected to the cmos transmission gate diverter switch 31-46 of one-level diverter switch 65 respectively, this cmos transmission gate change over switch 31-46 is connected with resistance string 64 respectively, and this resistance string 64 forms its tool two power supply end points VH, VL by resistance 47-62 serial connection; The output of this diverter switch 31-46 is connected in and is connected to output buffer 63 on the same line again
The present invention's digital analog converter, its control code generator 30 is made of a ring counter 40 and a decoder 50.As shown in Figure 3, this ring counter 40 is made up of 16 triggers.When a digital signal is failed this control code generator 30 of people; Ring counter 40 just changes into this digital signal Gray code QI-Q16 (as shown in Figure 5); And decoder 50 is decoded into control signal LI-L16 (as shown in Figure 6) with this Gray code QI-Q16.
This control signal LI-L16 controls the action of this diverter switch 31-46, because this control signal L1-L16 is when each pulse input, have only a position state to be " 1 ", all the other are all " 0 ", so all have only a diverter switch can allow one among this diverter switch of node voltage value mat 31-46 of resistance string 64 to be transferred to output buffer 63 at any one time; Deliver to output again, the analog signal of synthesizing a near sinusoidal ripple with the node voltage value of this difference.
