ABSTRACT:
A digital-to-analog converter system for converting a digital input signal having parallel words, each word including multi-bit groups of weighted significance, and which is provided at an input word rate of W Hz, is disclosed. The digital-to-analog converter system (10, 100, 200) includes pulse generating circuitry (11, 13, 111, 113, 211, 213) responsive to a first multi-bit group and a second multi-bit group of the digital input words for providing (a) a first pulse modulated signal as a function of the value of the first multi-bit group and (b) a second pulse modulated signal as a function of the value of the second multi-bit group; weighting elements (15, 19, 115, 119, 215, 219) for weighting the first and second pulse modulated signals as a function of the relative weighted significance of the first and second multi-bit groups; and output circuitry (20, 120, 220) for summing and filtering the weighted signals to provide an analog output signal that is representative of the digital input signal.
