Vorgeschlagen werden eine Anordnung und ein Verfahren zur Umsetzung einer diskreten Wertefolge in ein analoges Signal mit einer Mehrzahl im wesentlichen gleicher schaltbarer Quellen, die derart miteinander verbunden sind, dass sich ihre Ausgangssignale zu dem analogen Signal überlagern, mit einer Zuordnungsschaltung zur Zuordnung von Schaltzuständen der Quellen zu Werten der diskreten Wertefolge in Abhängigkeit sowohl der Werte der diskreten Wertefolge als auch vorangegangener Schaltzustände der schaltbaren Quellen, die oder das sich erfindungsgemäß dadurch auszeichnet, dass mindestens eine Mehrzahl der, insbesondere alle, Quellen mindestens drei voneinander verschiedene Schaltzustände aufweisen. Gegenüber bekannten DWA-Systemen hat die Erfindung den Vorteil, dass ein bestimmter Wert K durch verschiedene Anzahl eingeschalteter Quellen darstellbar ist, so dass durch Streuungen in den Ausgangssignalen der Quellen untereinander verursachte Verzerrungen bzw. Fehler im analogen Ausgangssignal weniger stark hervortreten.

The invention provides a system for conversion between analog domain and digital domain with mismatch error shaping, including a DAC, a first injection circuit couple to the DAC, and a second injection circuit coupled to the DAC. The DAC generates a first analog value in response to a first digital value, and generates a second analog value in response to a second digital value. The first injection circuit enables an analog injection value to be injected to the second analog value when the DAC generates the second analog value, wherein the analog injection value is converted from a digital injection value formed by a subset of bits of the first digital value. The second injection circuit injects the digital injection value to the second digital value, or combines the digital injection value and a related value obtained according to the second analog value.
