There is provided a digital to an analog converter (DAC) comprising a current source, a first logic circuit, wherein the first logic circuit receives a first switching signal and a low-power mode signal, a first switch controlled by the first logic circuit, wherein the first switch selectively couples the current source to a ground in response to a signal from the first logic circuit, and a second switch controlled by a second switching signal, wherein the second switch selectively couples the current source to a load in response to the second switching signal. The first switching signal and the second switching signal may be complementary and are based on a digital signal that is being converted into an analog signal. The low-power mode signal is provided to selectively switch the DAC into a lower power consumption mode.
