    摘要: Described herein are apparatus and methods for digitally enhancing digital-to-analog converter (DAC) resolution. A digitally enhanced DAC includes a decoder circuit configured to convert a N-bit input data to at least N code bits, a digital enhancement circuit configured to logically operate on a least significant bit (LSB) of the N-bit data, and a switching network including at least N DAC unit elements, where a least significant DAC unit element is controlled by the digital enhancement circuit to output a factored nominal current or voltage when a logical operation outputs a defined logic level for the LSB and to output a nominal current or voltage absent output of the defined logic level and a remaining DAC unit elements are controlled by a remaining code bits of the at least N code bits. This provides a N+1 bit resolution for the DAC without increasing the at least N DAC unit elements.

    摘要: The disclosure provides a circuit. The circuit includes an amplifier and a digital to analog converter (DAC). The amplifier receives a reference voltage at an input node of the amplifier. The DAC is coupled to the amplifier through a refresh switch. The DAC includes one or more current elements. Each current element of the one or more current elements receives a clock. The DAC includes one or more switches corresponding to the one or more current elements. A feedback switch is coupled between the one or more switches and a feedback node of the amplifier. The DAC provides a feedback voltage at the feedback node of the amplifier.

    摘要: A differential analog-digital converter is provided. The converter comprises a decision unit for evaluating a potential difference between two input signal lines, a number of charging units for each input signal line each configured to add a predetermined charge onto the respective input signal line, a number of discharging units for each input signal line each configured to remove a predetermined charge from the respective input signal line and a control unit for selectively switching each of the charging units and discharging units so that depending on one result of evaluating the potential difference between the two input signal lines one of the input signal lines is charged by adding the predetermined charge of the respective switched charging unit while the respective other of the input signal lines is discharged by removing the predetermined charge of the respective switched discharging unit.
