    摘要: An input digital signal is converted to an analog signal using a main digital to analog converter (DAC) and a sub DAC. An offset value is subtracted from the input digital signal to generate an offset adjusted digital signal. The main DAC converts the offset adjusted digital signal to a first analog signal. A second digital signal is generated based on the offset value and a correction factor determined, at least in part, during calibration of the main DAC. The sub DAC converts the second digital to a second analog signal, which when combined with the first analog signal, provides an analog representation of the input digital signal.

    摘要: A first phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit includes an input for receiving a timing reference signal from an oscillator, a controllable oscillator circuit supplying an oscillator output signal, and a multi-modulus feedback divider circuit. A second control loop circuit is selectably coupled through a select circuit to supply a digital control value (M) to the multi-modulus feedback divider circuit of the first loop circuit to thereby control the oscillator output signal. While the second control loop is coupled to supply the control value to the feedback divider circuit, the control value is determined according to a detected difference between the oscillator output signal and a reference signal coupled to the second control loop circuit at a divider circuit. While the second control loop circuit is not coupled to control the first PLL circuit, the first PLL circuit receives a digital control value to control a divide ratio of the feedback divider, the digital control value is determined at least in part according to a stored control value stored in nonvolatile storage, the stored control value corresponding to a desired frequency of the oscillator output signal.
