CMFB is required for true differential OP and OTA to set the output common mode voltage to a defined level, usually mid supply. Without CMFB, the CM...
A star configuration doesn't change the fact that the current in one winding is causing voltage drops in the others. But you'll get surely different...
As there's no DAC with BCD input, you need decimal to binary encoding logic at least. If implemented by processor, PLD or huge discrete IC circuit is...
