Abstract:
An N-bit digital-to-analog converting device includes: a decoder for converting an N-bit binary digital signal into a multi-bit thermometer code during each cycle of a clock signal alternating between first and second states, N being an integer not less than two; a random number generator for generating a reset signal having at least one high logic level bit and at least one low logic level bit that are equal in number and that have a random, time-varying arrangement; and a converting module coupled electrically to the decoder and the random number generator, and configured to convert the thermometer code into an analog voltage corresponding to the digital signal when the clock signal is in the first state, and to reset the analog voltage to a reset value according to the reset signal when the clock signal is in the second state.
