    摘要: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a processing system may include a plurality of processing paths including a first processing path and a second processing path, a digital-to-analog stage output, and a controller. The first processing path may include a first digital-to-analog converter for converting the digital input signal into a first intermediate analog signal, the first digital-to-analog converter configured to operate in a high-power state and a low-power state. The second processing path may include a second digital-to-analog converter for converting a digital input signal into a second intermediate analog signal. The digital-to-analog stage output may be configured to generate an analog signal comprising a sum of the first intermediate analog signal and the second intermediate analog signal. The controller may be configured to operate the first digital-to-analog converter in the lower-power state when a magnitude of the digital input signal is below a threshold magnitude.

    摘要: An X-ray detector includes an N-channel digital-analogue converter controllable with K+L bits. In an embodiment, the digital-analogue converter includes a first voltage source to provide a plurality of first voltage values at tapping points; and a switch unit with N switch matrices, 2K inputs of the switch matrices being electrically conductively connected to 2K tapping points of the first voltage source. The digital-analogue converter also includes a second voltage source including N subunits. The X-ray detector further includes a discriminator unit including N comparators, at least one input of the comparators being electrically conductively connected to the associated output of the switch matrix and/or to the associated output of the subunit, so that the associated first voltage value and the associated second voltage value are associable with each comparator. A signal of an output of a pre-amplifier, and the associated first and second voltage values are comparable in the comparator.

    摘要: The disclosure provides a current steering digital to analog converter (DAC) that includes a plurality of DAC elements. At least one DAC element of the plurality of DAC elements is coupled to a calibration circuit. The calibration circuit includes a fixed current source coupled to a primary node of the DAC element through a first estimation switch. A digital code generator is coupled to the primary node, and generates a first digital code corresponding to a primary voltage generated at the primary node. The digital code generator generates a second digital code. A correction DAC is coupled to the digital code generator and generates a bias voltage based on the second digital code. The bias voltage is provided to the DAC element such that a current flowing through each DAC element of the plurality of DAC elements is equal.
