ABSTRACT:
A D/A converter implemented by an integrated circuit has a first section for conversion of higher-order N1 bits of an input digital signal to output a first current signal I.sub.1, a second section for conversion of lower-order N2 bits of the input digital signal to output a second current signal I.sub.2, a dividing section for dividing the second current signal to output a third current signal I.sub.2 .times.1/2.sup.N2, and an adding section for adding the first and third current signal. The D/A converter can be implemented by a reduced number of MOSFETs and has a reduced occupied area.
