Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a programmable multi-mode digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for generating a frequency-modulated signal. For example, certain aspects provide a circuit for sweeping a frequency of an output signal. The circuit generally includes a DAC having an input coupled to an input path of the circuit and an output coupled to an output path of the circuit, a first mixer selectively incorporated in the input path coupled to the input of the DAC, and a second mixer selectively incorporated in the output path coupled to the output of the DAC.

Claim (Index 12):
The circuit of  claim 6 , wherein, when the circuit is configured in a third mode of operation after the second mode of operation, the circuit is configured to:\n sweep the frequency of the digital input signal from the first frequency to the second frequency; provide the digital input signal to the input of the first mixer, the output of the first mixer being coupled to the input of the DAC; and process the output of the DAC using the second mixer, the output signal being generated at an output of the second mixer.
