摘要: In one embodiment, a method for converting an input digital signal into an analog signal is provided. The method comprises modulating the input digital signal into a modulated digital signal, and converting the modulated digital signal into the analog signal using a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The modulation shapes quantization noise of the DAC to place a notch at a frequency within an out-of-bound frequency band to reduce the quantization noise within the out-of-bound frequency band.

摘要: An N-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) includes N input stages each of which generates the same amount of current and includes a pair of similarly sized transistor switches responsive to differential bits. The 2M−1 input stages associated with the M most significant bits of the DAC are connected in parallel and deliver their currents differentially to the DAC's current summing nodes. Each of the remaining (N−M) stages includes a resistive network that supplies a current defined by a binary weight of the stage's bit position within the DAC. The (N−M) stages deliver their currents to the current summing nodes differentially. The DAC further includes an impedance attenuator adapted to maintain the impedance of the current summing nodes and the voltage difference between the current summing nodes within a range defined by a gain of a differential amplifier disposed in the impedance attenuator.
