Abstract:
The present invention offers an over-sampling digital-to-analog converter with variable sampling frequencies to process input signals of variable sampling frequencies. The over-sampling digital-to-analog converter comprises an expander, which expands said input signals with a fixed rate of M to produce over-sampling signals; a digital low-pass filter, which filters out high-frequency ingredients of over-sampling signals and then outputs data with a first rate; a data buffer, which receives the outputted data by said digital low-pass filter with the first rate and outputs the data with a second rate; a modulator, which reads data in said data buffer with the second rate and modulates the data; a digital-to-analog converter, which converts the modulated data to analog signals; and an analog low-pass filter, which filters out high-frequency ingredients of said analog signals for producing output signals. No matter how the sampling frequency of the input signals is, due to reading rates of the modulator are the same, the over-sampling digital-to-analog converter ensures that noise is mostly distributed in the high-frequency band.

A signal generator for generating a clock with lower jitter. The signal generator includes a multi-phase clock generator for generating a plurality of multi-phase reference clocks with same frequency, a multiplexer for selecting one reference clock as an output clock according to a phase selecting signal, a phase-swallow control unit having a comparator for comparing a swallow value with a reference value out of order and outputting the comparing result as a swallow control signal, and a clock selector for receiving the swallow control signal and generating the phase selecting signal. Because the reference value is provided by a counter in bit-reversed, the swallow control signal is dispersed smoothly and the jitter of the output clock is reduced.
