    A 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a small area is proposed for data-driver integrated circuits of active-matrix liquid crystal display systems. The 10-bit DAC consists of a 7-bit resistor string, a 7-bit two-step decoder, a 2-bit logarithmic time interpolator, and a buffer amplifier. The proposed logarithmic time interpolation is achieved by controlling the charging time of a first-order low-pass filter composed of a resistor and a capacitor. The 7-bit two-step decoder that follows the 7-bit resistor string outputs an analog signal of the stepped wave with two voltage levels using the additional 1-bit digital code for the logarithmic time interpolation. The proposed 10-bit DAC is implemented using a 0.35-µm CMOS process and its supply voltage is scalable from 3.3V to 5.0V. The area of the proposed 10-bit logarithmic time interpolation DAC occupies 57% of that of the conventional 10-bit resistor-string DAC. The DNL and INL of the implemented 10-bit DAC are +0.29/-0.30 and +0.47/-0.36 LSB, respectively.
