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 8):
The circuit of  claim 6 , further comprising:\n a processing system; and a memory coupled to the processing system, wherein the processing system is configured to:\n sweep the frequency of the digital input signal from the first frequency to the second frequency by reading digital data stored in the memory in order starting from a first memory location and ending at a second memory location; and \n sweep the frequency of the digital input signal from the second frequency to the first frequency by reading digital data stored in the memory in order starting from the second memory location and ending at the first memory location.
