Sinusoidal signal generators are critical in various integrated circuit systems, such as mixed-signal BIST applications, RF communication systems, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Digital-to-analog converters, which only need to generate a sinusoidal signal, can be realized using digital harmonic-cancelling sine wave synthesizers (DHSS). The sine wave is obtained by adding weighted and shifted square waves, resulting in a staircase approximation of the sinusoid. However, due to mismatch, the weights have some variation, resulting in decreased performance. Dynamic element matching (DEM) techniques are possible, but existing implementations require a large number of unit elements. This paper presents a segmented harmonic-cancelling digital-to-analog converter (HC-DAC) that achieves comparable performance in terms of signal quality, but with a greatly decreased number of unit elements, thereby lowering the circuit complexity. Implemented in a 180 nm CMOS technology, the 4-bit segmented HC-DAC achieves an SDR of 77 dB at 2 MHz with a power consumption of $254 \mu \mathrm{~W}$ and minimal area usage. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed design, demonstrating significant performance improvements over existing sine wave synthesizers.
Spurious measurements in surface data are common in technical surfaces. Excluding or ignoring these spurious points may lead to incorrect surface characterization if these points inherit features of the surface. There...
