A 10-bit, 100-MHz CMOS linear interpolation digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is presented. It includes a 16-tap voltage controlled delay line and a 10-bit binary-weighted DAC with a time-interleaved structure. The linear interpolation not only increases the attenuation of the DAC's image components, but also reduces the glitch of the binary-weight...

Context 1
... DAC is developed in this design to realize a linear interpolation function, whose frequency response is approximately the square of the sinc function [1] [2]. Compared with the zero−order−hold DAC, the presented DAC can provide higher attenuation of the image signal, especially when the image components are near to the clock frequency. Fig. 1 shows the spectrum of the sampled digital signal, the frequency responses of a zero−order−hold DAC and a linear interpolation DAC. Moreover, as a result of the linear interpolation, the glitch of the binary−weighted DAC is reduced due to gradually turning on or off the current source of each bit. The proposed DAC has simple structure, ...

In a software-defined radio (SDR) system, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) should be fast and accurate enough for each communication standard. This chapter summarizes the requirements for the ADC and DAC in wireless systems. It discusses and compares different options to obtain a multi-mode system. The chapter describes briefly the requirements for reconfigurable systems. It focuses on the implementation of reconfigurable ADCs and DACs. The chapter deals with the implications of the SDR concept on data converters when more-or-less traditional transceiver concepts are used.

This paper presents a low-complexity DDS IC for subcarrier processing in an FM-UWB transceiver. The IC implements data pre-filtering and FSK generation for the transmitter and quadrature LO signals generation for the receiver. The use of DDS techniques yields accurate signals whose parameters can be easily adjusted to accommodate a wide range of sub-carrier frequencies and bit rates. An interpolating DAC is used to directly generate the lowpass filtered analog output signals. The design will be fabricated in a standard 130 nm CMOS technology.
