Voltage reference and current source mixing method for video DAC

摘要

A method of arranging components in an integrated circuit includes providing two or more circuit cells of a first type and providing two or more circuit cells of a second type. The circuit cells of the first type are configured to operate in conjunction with the circuit cells of the second type. The method further includes arranging the circuit cells of the first and second types in an alternating pattern such that each circuit cell of the first type is adjacent to at least one circuit cell of the second type. The alternating pattern may be an array of rows and columns and may include a repeating pattern of one first type cell and one second type cell in each of the columns. The alternating pattern may include a repeating pattern of one cell of the first type and two cells of the second type in each of the columns.
