| 20100026541 | D-A CONVERTER AND D-A CONVERTING METHOD - Provided is a DA converter that converts an input digital signal into an analog signal, comprising an integrator that outputs an integration value of the digital signal for each cycle of a constant period; a level comparing section that makes a comparison to detect whether the integration value output by the integrator is in an excessive state of being greater than a prescribed reference value; a feedback section that subtracts a predetermined value from the integration value, based on the comparison result from the level comparing section; a timing information generating section that generates, for each cycle, timing information of a change point, at which a transition to the excessive state occurs, with units of temporal resolution shorter than the constant period, based on the integration value output by the integrator for the cycle and the integration value output by the integrator for an immediately prior cycle; a timing generating section that generates a pulse signal with units of temporal resolution shorter than the constant period based on the timing information; and a signal processing section that generates the analog signal based on the pulse signal. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20120001785 | TIMING SIGNAL GENERATOR CIRCUIT FOR USE IN SIGNAL WAVEFORM MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR MEASURING MULTI-CHANNEL ON-CHIP SIGNALS FLOWING ON VLSI - A timing signal generator circuit includes a DA converter converting an input digital value into an analog voltage, and a VT converter converting the analog voltage into a corresponding delay time. The DA converter includes a current source circuit, which supplies a current (n×Is) (“n” is a number corresponding to the input digital value) selected from a total supply current (N×Is) as a current Iout to the resistors, and supplies the remaining current (N−n)×Is as a current Idump to the resistors, outputs a voltage across the resistors as an analog voltage Vdac, and outputs a voltage across the resistor as a reset voltage Vreset. The VT converter charges the integration capacitor with a constant current from the constant current source by using the reset voltage as an initial voltage, and outputs a timing signal when the integral voltage exceeds the analog voltage. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120119931 | DEVICE HAVING DIGITALLY CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR - A device includes a digital-to-time converter and an interpolator having a data input and a data output coupled to the digital-to-time converter. The interpolator may be configured to receive a converter control signal at the data input and to provide an interpolated converter control signal at the data output. An interpolation rate of the interpolator may depend on the converter control signal. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120146827 | CODING DEVICE, DEVICE FOR REPROCESSING A DIGITAL BASEBAND SIGNAL OR INTERMEDIATE FREQUENCY SIGNAL, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTERNAL DIGITAL CODING - The invention relates to a method and a system for external, digital coding of a baseband or intermediate-frequency signal. Initially, a digital datastream is converted in a coding device into a digital-baseband signal in the time domain or into a digital intermediate-frequency signal in the time domain. The digitally generated signal is output via an asynchronous-serial interface of the coding device to another device. Such a device also provides an asynchronous-serial interface, which is connected to the asynchronous-serial interface of the coding device. The device reads in the output digital-baseband signal or intermediate-frequency signal for further processing. | 06-14-2012 |
| 20150035690 | DELAY CIRCUIT AND DIGITAL TO TIME CONVERTER - A delay circuit includes a first inverter in which a delay time of rising is larger than a delay time of falling, and a second inverter which is connected in series with the first inverter and in which a delay time of falling is larger than a delay time of rising. Transistors for each of the first and second inverters are connected in series between a power supply terminal and a ground terminal. | 02-05-2015 |
| 20150295589 | CONVERTING TIME-ENCODED SIGNAL INTO ANALOG OUTPUT - A converter may generate an analog output that is representative of a time-encoded signal. The circuit may include an input port receiving the time-encoded signal; a time-encoded to digital converter coupled to the input port; and a digital-to-analog converter coupled to the time-encoded to digital converter. | 10-15-2015 |
| 20160149584 | Interpolator Systems and Methods - A digital to time converter is disclosed and includes a code logic and an interpolator. The code logic is configured to receive a first phase signal and a second phase signal and generate a select signal according to the first phase signal and the second phase signal. The interpolator has a bank of inverters. The interpolator is configured to generate an interpolator signal based on the select signal and an input signal. | 05-26-2016 |
