摘要： A digital-to-analog upconverter directly converts a baseband digital value comprising a plurality of bits to an RF analog signal to combine digital-to-analog operations with frequency upconversion operations. One exemplary digital-to-analog upconverter comprises a plurality of conversion units, one for each of the plurality of bits in the baseband digital value, and an output node coupled to each of the conversion units. Each conversion unit generates a weighted analog signal at a low frequency or at a radio frequency responsive to the corresponding input bit and an oscillator signal at RF. The weighting factor of each conversion unit corresponds to a relative weighting of the corresponding bit. The output node combines the weighted analog signals to generate a combined RF analog signal representative of the baseband digital value.

摘要： The charge-to-digital timer apparatus and method disclosed herein estimates the elapsed time between two signals, e.g., a start signal and a stop signal. To that end, at least a capacitive load is charged with a known current to generate a load voltage. Subsequently, a first voltage is ramped in a plurality of discrete voltage steps associated with a plurality of known capacitances until the ramped voltage satisfies a predetermined criterion relative to a second voltage. The elapsed time is determined from the discrete voltage steps, one of the first and second voltages, the known current, and the known capacitive load.

摘要： The disclosed apparatus and corresponding method uses amplifiers and a differential combiner to control the output power of a digital-to-analog upconverter and to isolate In-phase and Quadrature branches of the upconverter. First and second upconverters convert In-phase and Quadrature portions of a baseband digital value to respective first/second In-phase (Ip/In) and first/second Quadrature (Qp/Qn) analog components at RF. First and second amplifiers respectively amplify Ip, In and Qp, Qn to respectively generate amplified Ip, In and Qp, Qn signals. The first and second amplifiers each operate at a 50% duty cycle and in an interleaved fashion such that only one amplifier is active to generate an output at any time, and such that the amplified signals are output in an interleaved fashion. A differential combiner combines the amplified signals to generate the RF analog signal representative of the baseband digital value.
