    Abstract: An apparatus for generating an output signal, may comprise a signal path having an analog signal path portion having an analog magnitude droop, a digital signal path portion having a digital magnitude droop, a digital-to-analog converter for converting the digital input signal into the analog signal, a first digital compensation filter that compensates for the analog magnitude droop, and a second digital compensation filter that compensates for the digital magnitude droop, such that the first digital compensation filter and the second digital compensation filter together compensate for magnitude droop of the signal path to ensure a substantially flat passband response of the signal path.An apparatus may include a delta-sigma modulator for quantization noise shaping of a digital signal, a digital-to-analog converter configured to generate an analog signal from the digital signal, and an amplifier configured to amplify the analog signal and powered from a charge pump, wherein the charge pump is configured to operate at a switching frequency approximately equal to a zero of a modulator noise transfer function of the delta-sigma modulator, such that the impact of charge pump noise on a total harmonic distortion noise of the apparatus is minimized
