Abstract:
1. A method for performing parallel digital-to-analog conversion of an n-bit digital input data signal at a frequency of f s , comprising: receiving the n-bit digital input data signal; generating M−1 delayed input data signals, M being the number of parallel conversions channels, the M−1 delayed input data signals having respective increasing amount of unit delay, the digital input data signal and the M−1 delayed input data signals forming M digital signals; holding the M digital signals for a first time period; performing a data transformation of the M digital signals using an M×M Hadamard matrix; generating M (n+m)-bit transformed digital data signals; converting each of the M transformed digital data signals to M analog signals; and performing a reverse data transformation of the M analog signals based on the M×M Hadamard matrix to generate an output analog signal indicative of the n-bit digital input data signal.
