1. A mixed-signal integrated circuit comprising:
a reference signal source configured to generate a plurality of current reference signals based on an input of digital data;
a shared signal path that is in electrical connection with an output terminal of the reference signal source, wherein the reference signal source is configured to output, via the output terminal, the analog reference signals to the shared signal path;
a plurality of current sources arranged in electrical connection along the shared signal path, wherein each of the plurality of current sources is configured to copy one or more of the plurality of current reference signals; and
a control signal source configured to generate a control signal that informs a current copying operation of each of the plurality of current sources.
