A multiple-input follower amplifier is coupled through a configuration of
switching devices to an upper reference voltage at a number of its inputs
and to a lower reference voltage at the remaining number of its inputs to
form a voltage interpolator. The output of the voltage interpolator is a
voltage between the upper and lower reference voltages proportional to
the number of inputs coupled to each reference voltage. The voltage
interpolator may be constructed so that the interpolated voltage may be
selected through a reduced number of signal lines, such as by a
row/column selection scheme. A voltage reference circuit providing the
upper and lower reference voltages may also implement a row/column
selection mechanism, thereby allowing a decoding scheme common to both a
voltage reference circuit and a voltage interpolator in a
digital-to-analog converter.
