ABSTRACT:
A pulse width digital to analog converter is constructed which provides an output clock rate that is a multiple of the input sampling rate. In one embodiment a latch is used to store N-bit digital word representing the analog signal value to be generated. (N-K) of the most significant bits are stored in a counter which decrements its count in response to a clock signal. A plurality of least significant bits of said digital word stored in said latch are applied to a logic circuit. A ring counter is utilized to indicate which section of the output signal is currently being generated. The plurality of the least significant bits of the digital word stored in the latch, together with the output signals from the ring counter, are applied to said logic circuit, and the transition of the output signal of the digital to analog converter from a logical one to a logical zero is delayed, when required, to provide a slightly increased output pulse width in response to said plurality of least significant bits of said digital word, thereby maintaining or even increasing the resolution of the system.
