Abstract

In this paper, a silicon nanowire (SiNW) FET-based DAC is proposed and simulated. The proposed DAC is based on SiNW unit element current cells and logic thermometric decoding block. The FET current is calculated by using non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism. The unit current cell geometry and bias condition were chosen to maximize \(I_{\text {ON}}/I_{\text {OFF}}\) ratio and to minimize differential nonlinearity (DNL) and integral nonlinearity (INL) errors. The simulation results indicate a DNL of [\(-\)0.19,0.17]LSB and an INL of [\(-\)0.61,0.335]LSB errors that meet the requirement for 5-bit resolution at 0.4 V operating voltage. Also, the low DAC active area of 351 nm2 was obtained that is suitable for very large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits.
