    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose an analog-digital converter and an analog-to-digital conversion method. The analog-digital converter includes: a clock generator, including M transmission gates, where the M transmission gates are configured to receive a first clock signal that is periodically sent and separately perform gating control on the first clock signal, so as to generate M second clock signals, M is an integer that is greater than or equal to 2, each period of the first clock signal comprises M clock pulses, a period of the M second clock signals is equal to the period of the first clock signal, each period of the M second clock signals includes one clock pulse of the M clock pulses; M ADC channels that are configured in a time interleaving manner, configured to receive one analog signal and separately perform, under the control of the M second clock signals, sampling and analog-to-digital conversion on the analog signal, so as to obtain M digital signals, where each ADC channel is corresponding to one clock signal of the M second clock signals; and an adder, configured to add the M digital signals together in a digital field, so as to obtain a digital output signal.

    Abstract: A digital-to-analog converter is disclosed. The converter includes a gradient correction module that generates a correction term based on a model of gradient error. The correction term is then applied to the signal path in the digital domain or applied to the output of the digital-to-analog converter in the analog domain. The model used to generate the correction term is based on a vertical gradient error in the array of current source elements, which may be modelled and calibrated using a second-order polynomial. Further, a digital-to-analog converter having a Nyquist DAC and an oversampled DAC is disclosed. When the oversampled DAC is enabled, the resolution of the Nyquist DAC may be increased while slowing the conversion rate.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a digitally-controlled power generation stage (3324) for converting an input signal to a radio frequency carrier, the digitally-controlled power generation stage (3324) comprising a plurality of selectable switching devices capable of adjusting an envelope of the radio frequency carrier; and a pulse width modulator generator (1302, 1508) arranged to generate a pulse width modulator control signal and operably coupleable to the plurality of selectable switching devices of the digitally-controlled power generation stage (3324). The pulse width modulator generator (1302, 1508) inputs the pulse width modulator control signal to a subset of the plurality of the selectable switching devices such that a pulse width modulator signal adjusts the envelope radio frequency carrier output from the digitally-controlled power generation stage (3324).

    Abstract: A current steering digital-analog converter (1) for converting a digital code (In-cod) into an analog signal (Vout) is described. The converter comprises:
    - a substrate of semiconductor material;
    - an array (2) of current generators (MD0, MD1, M1-M15) integrated in the substrate;
    - a common summation node (NC1) and switching means (3) controllable on the basis of the digital code for connecting/disconnecting the current generators (MD0, MD1, M1-M15) to/from the common summation node (NC1).
    The current generators (MD0, MD1, M1-M15) are such as to provide the common summation node (NC1) with currents having a multiple value according to a power of two compared to a unit current value provided to the summation node by a current generator (MD0) of the array (2) of generators (MD0, MD1, M1-M15).
    The current generator (MD0) is divided into a base number of modular current generation elements in parallel to one another at least equal to two.
