Abstract
The design and VLSI implementation of a new stochastic D/A converter u sing the properties of Cellular Automata (CA) is presented in this pap er. The converter is implemented using a Double Layer Metal (DLM), 0.7 mu m, N-well, CMOS technology process provided by the European Silico n Structures (ES2). Its maximum conversion rate is 6 kHz and it is int ended ro be used in low-cost applications. Additionally, the proposed approach integrates into digital techniques more easily than other pop ular building D/A techniques.
