    • The present disclosure discloses a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) design which is suitable for providing a high output power high-speed DAC, e.g., in radio frequency applications. The DAC design utilizes a parallel DAC structure, e.g., having 8 parallel DACs and an aggregate current output, to provide a high and programmable current output (in some implementations, up to 512 mA or more). The parallel DAC structure alleviates the design problems which exist in trying to output a high amount of current using a single DAC. The DAC design further utilizes a hybrid structure which integrates the signal chain for a more reliable system. In some embodiments, the hybrid structure uses a CMOS process for the current sources and switches and a GaAs cascode stage for combining the outputs to optimally leverage the advantages of both technologies. The result is a highly efficient DAC (with peak output power programmable up to 29 dBm or more).
    • 本公开公开了一种数字 - 模拟转换器(DAC)设计,其适用于例如在射频应用中提供高输出功率高速DAC。 DAC设计利用并行DAC结构,例如具有8个并行DAC和聚合电流输出,以提供高且可编程的电流输出(在一些实现中,高达512mA或更多)。 并行DAC结构减轻了使用单个DAC输出大量电流时存在的设计问题。 DAC设计进一步利用混合结构,将信号链集成在一个更可靠的系统中。 在一些实施例中,混合结构使用用于电流源和开关的CMOS工艺和用于组合输出的GaAs级联级,以最佳地利用两种技术的优点。 结果是高效率的DAC(峰值输出功率可编程高达29 dBm或更高)。

    • Methods and systems are provided for using localized dynamic element matching (DEM) and/or dynamic noise scaling (DNS) in digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Adaptive (localized) DEM may be applied in a DAC, by selecting one or more of a plurality DAC elements in the DAC, forcing the selected one or more of the plurality of DAC elements not to switch during digital-to-analog conversions, and scrambling remaining one or more of plurality of DAC elements when generating an output of the DAC. The adaptive DEM may be applied when the DAC input is backed off from full-scale. DNS may be applied in a DAC, by adaptively selecting one or more of a plurality DAC elements in the DAC and switching off the selected one or more of the plurality DAC elements such that the selected one or more of the plurality DAC elements do not contribute to generating an output of the DAC.
    • 提供了在数模转换器(DAC)中使用局部动态元素匹配(DEM)和/或动态噪声缩放(DNS)的方法和系统。 可以通过选择DAC中的多个DAC元件中的一个或多个DAC来迫使所选择的一个或多个DAC元件在数模转换期间不切换,自适应(局部)DEM可以应用于DAC中;以及 当产生DAC的输出时,扰乱剩余一个或多个DAC元件。 当DAC输入从满量程退出时,可以应用自适应DEM。 DNS可以通过自适应地选择DAC中的多个DAC元件中的一个或多个并且关闭所选择的多个DAC元件中的一个或多个,使得所选择的一个或多个DAC元件不贡献 以产生DAC的输出。

    • A converter and a method for controlling a converter are disclosed herein, in which the converter includes a converting circuit, a current sensing circuit, a digital-to-analog converting circuit, a slope compensation circuit and a comparator circuit. The slope compensation circuit is independent from the digital-to-analog converting circuit, and the slope compensation circuit exclusively generates an analog slope compensation signal. The comparator circuit compares an analog signal generated by the digital-to-analog converting circuit with the superimposition of the analog slope compensation signal and a current sensing signal generated by the current sensing circuit or compares the current sensing signal with the superimposition of the analog slope compensation signal and the analog signal to generate a comparator output signal for a control operation of the converting circuit.
