ABSTRACT:
A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) error mismatch shaper. The shaper comprises a switching arrangement with a delta-sigma modulator having analog signal processing components. The analog signal processing components allow the spectral behavior of the shaper to be controlled. The switching arrangement comprises a control circuit. The control circuit is a tunable, pipelined control circuit.
