    Abstract: One or more systems, devices and/or methods of use provided herein relate to a device that can support a signal generation. A current-mode end-to-end signal path can include a digital to analog converter (DAC) operating in current-mode and an upconverting mixer, operating in current-mode and operatively coupled to the DAC. Analog inputs and outputs of the DAC and upconverting mixer can be represented as currents, and the DAC can generate a baseband signal. The DAC and upconverting mixer each can comprise switching transistors of the same type, such as p-type metal-oxide semiconductor (PMOS) switching transistors. In one or more embodiments, a current source and a diode-connected transistor can be arranged in parallel in the current-mode signal path, and the current source passes a static current, while the diode-connected transistor passes both a static current and a dynamic current.

    Abstract: A quantum write controller includes an in-phase path that includes a first digital to analog converter (DAC) configured to receive an in-phase signal at a first frequency, a first mixer configured to create a third in phase frequency, a first combiner configured to combine an output of the first mixer with an output of a third mixer, and a second mixer configured to mix an output of the first combiner with a fourth in phase frequency. There is a quadrature path that includes a second DAC configured to receive a quadrature phase signal at the first frequency, a third mixer configured to create a third quadrature frequency, a second combiner configured to combine the output of the third mixer with the output of the first mixer, and a fourth mixer configured to mix an output of the second combiner with a fourth quadrature frequency.

    Abstract: Transmitters and methods of transmitting a polar-modulated signal include a driver to output a polar-modulated signal according to a phase-modulation signal and an amplitude-modulation signal. A voltage regulator is connected to the driver, with the amplitude-modulation signal controlling an input of the voltage regulator and with the amplitude-modulation signal further being combined with an output of the voltage regulator to control an amplitude of the output of the driver to compensate for bandwidth cutoff noise in the voltage regulator.

    Abstract: Systems and methods to implement a multiply and accumulate (MAC) unit is described. In an example, a device can include a first current mode digital-to-analog converter (DAC) configured to multiply an input signal with a first current having a first amplitude to generate a first signal. The device can further include a second current mode DAC configured to multiply the input signal with a second current having a second amplitude to generate a second signal. The second amplitude can be less than the first amplitude. The device can further include a mixer configured to multiply the second signal with a clock signal to generate a third signal. The third signal can be combined with the first signal via a current summing node to generate an output signal. The output signal can be outputted to another device.
