title = "W-2W current steering DAC for programming phase change memory",
abstract = "This paper presents the design and experimental results of W-2W current mirror binary-weighted current steering Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) and its application for programming Phase Change Memory (PCM). This new approach significantly reduces the layout area of current-mode DACs by the virtue of its compact size. The proposed DAC can replace the write driver circuits in phase change memories. Both 6-bit and 12-bit DACs have been fabricated in 0.5 ?m CMOS technology. The layout size of the 12-bit and the 6-bit DACs is 0.09 mm2 and 0.04 mm2 respectively. Experimental results are presented and the limitations are discussed.",
