Abstract:
An adaptive control circuit for the current cell control of a digital-analog converter and the digital analog converter including the same are provided to reduce the peak noise of the current source and the vibration noise of the output signal by reducing the variance of the signal switching. A digital to analog converter comprises a controller(40), an adaptation controller(50), and an analog signal output unit(60). The adaptation controller and the analog signal output unit are included in each cell of the current cell. The controller outputs the first control signal(Vin,Vinb) for switching the MOS transistor included in the analog signal output to the adaptation controller. The adaptation controller receives the first control signal from the controller, and adjusts the variance of the first control signal, and produces the second controlling signal(vin',Vinb'), and outputs the generated second controlling signal to the analog signal output unit. The analog signal output unit outputs the analog signal according to the second controlling signal.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for controlling a dynamic range of a DAC(Digital to Analog Converter) input signal are provided to optimize the performance of a DAC by actively controlling the DAC input signal according to the number of channels and operation scenarios. Diffused signals including a plurality of channel signals having predetermined digital gain values outputted by a PN diffuser(202) pass through a gain normalizer(204) before transmission to an LPF(Low Pass Filter)(206). The gain normalizer(204) normalizes the diffused signals of N + m bits with normalization factors in accordance with an input operation range of a DAC(210) to output normalized signals of N bits. The PN diffuser(202) generates the diffused signals of larger bits that is N+m bits by using the gain normalizer(204). The output of the gain normalizer(204) is filtered by the LPF(206) to be transmitted to an interpolator(208). The interpolator(208) interpolates the signals transmitted from the LPF(206) in consideration of the input operation range of the DAC(210) to provide the interpolated signals to the DAC(210). The DAC(210) converts the interpolated signals into analog signals and outputs the converted signals.
