摘要:
A monolithic integrable R-2R resistor network comprises a number of series resistors connected to a terminal resistor; and a plurality of 2R resistor units each capable of being switched by two electronic switches either to ground or to another reference point, a different plurality of 2R resistor units being coupled to the nodes between each of the series resistors, to the node between the terminal resistor and the last resistor of the series resistors and to the node ahead of the first resistor of the series resistors. To compensate for the effects of the variations of the switch resistances caused during manufacture by process parameter fluctuations upon the accuracy of a D/A converter, a switch structure is inserted at each of the nodes which, with respect to the two electronic switches, is of the same kind, and which is permanently in an electrically conducting state. Preferably, there are used insulated-gate field-effect transistors and insulated-gate field-effect transistor structures, the identical electrodes of which, for example, the source electrodes, are directly connected to each of the nodes.

In a data compression system, a digital signal comprising a series of digital samples and a sampling datum associated with each digital sample is received by a decoder. The sampling datum indicates the sampling interval of the associated digital sample. The decoder includes a microcomputer for storing the digital signal into a memory (M2) and reading each digital sample and the associated sampling datum. The digital sample is divided by the sampling datum to derive a quotient which indicates the slope of the signal to be recovered. The quotient is integrated by an integrator (6b) to provide interpolation between successive sampling points, so that the original signal is approximated by a plurality of line segments.

A plurality of metal resistance elements and a metal resistance element for compensation use are formed on a common substrate and placed under the same temperature condition. A reference current is applied to the metal resistance element for compensation use to yield an auxiliary reference voltage. A plurality of switches are individually connected in series to the reference metal resistance elements and the auxiliary reference voltage is provided to the series circuits to selectively control the switches, thereby obtaining various currents.

A multi-stage resistive ladder network which uses extra stages to trim out resistance discrepencies. All of the stages are interconnected in a series. Nominally, current is divided in half within each stage. Half of the current is gated onto a bus in response to logic control signals, and the other half of the current is passed onto the next succeeding stage. Due to various processing limitations, the resistors comprising each stage vary slightly from their nominal value, which in turn upsets the current division. To compensate for this additional current dividing stages are serially connected to the last stage of the ladder. Current from these additional stages are selectively coupled onto the bus in response to the logic signals in addition to the current which is normally coupled thereto.
