There is provided a digital to an analog converter (DAC) comprising a
current source, a first logic circuit, wherein the first logic circuit
receives a first switching signal and a low-power mode signal, a first
switch controlled by the first logic circuit, wherein the first switch
selectively couples the current source to a ground in response to a
signal from the first logic circuit, and a second switch controlled by a
second switching signal, wherein the second switch selectively couples
the current source to a load in response to the second switching signal.
The first switching signal and the second switching signal may be
complementary and are based on a digital signal that is being converted
into an analog signal. The low-power mode signal is provided to
selectively switch the DAC into a lower power consumption mode.
