A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for a sigma-delta modulator is
provided. The DAC has a switched capacitor structure using an operational
amplifier (OP amp) and performs a function exceeding 3-level using a
switching method employing only one capacitor in single ended form. Thus,
DAC non-linearity caused by capacitor mismatching does not occur, and the
number of output levels of the DAC is increased. Also, the DAC capacitor
may be applied to a general DAC to increase the ratio of DAC output
levels to capacitors.
