1. Write an expression for I for a given code k in terms of I, k and α

1. The document derives expressions for output current (Iout), integral nonlinearity (INL), and differential nonlinearity (DNL) for a given code k in a current steering DAC with mismatch α between the unit elements. 2. It first derives an expression for Iout in terms of input current I, code k, and mismatch α. It then derives expressions for INL and DNL in terms of k and α. 3. Finally, it derives an expression for the maximum tolerated value of α to keep both |INL| and |DNL| below 0.5 LSB. The key steps are considering the cases for INL and DNL individually and setting each below 0.5 L
