ABSTRACT:
A digital-to-thermometer-code converter is disclosed for converting a digital signal into its thermometer-code equivalent. Embodiments of the digital-to-thermometer-code include a binary-to-control signal converter that generates a column control signal and a row control signal based on a binary input signal, and a control signal-to-thermometer-code decoder that includes an array of decoder circuit blocks coupled to receive the column control signal and the row control signal, wherein each of the decoder circuit blocks determine at least one bit of the thermometer-code output signal based on at least a first bit of the column control signal.
