    摘要: A digital-to-analog (DAC) element may include a plurality of switches arranged to form two circuit branches between a current source and a first and a second outputs. The first circuit branch may include two switches defining parallel current paths between the current source and the first output terminal. The second circuit branch may include two switches defining parallel current paths between the current source and the second output terminal. A control circuit, responsive to an input signal that selects one of the circuit branches, may provide control signals to close one of switches in the selected circuit branch in a first portion of a clock cycle and to close the other of the switches in the selected circuit branch in a second portion of the clock cycle.

    摘要: A continuous-time sigma delta modulator circuit includes a scaling circuit that scales an input analog signal by a selectable range of different scaling factors in order to change a range of signal levels of the input analog signal to a desired range of signal levels in a scaled analog signal prior to conversion of the scaled analog signal to a digital signal. The scaling factor is selected based on the range of signal levels of the input analog signal in order to provide signal levels of the scaled signal within a desired range. The scaling circuit maintains current flow of the input analog signal at a substantially constant level regardless of the different scaling factors that are used to scale the input analog signal.
