ABSTRACT:
In an output stage for a DAC, such as an oversampled DAC, an apparatus and method which generates, for each bit clock period and for each bit to be converted, two or more (not just one) return-to-zero (RTZ) signals. The RTZ signals are delayed from the other (if two RTZ signals are employed, they are delayed by one-half clock cycle relative to each other). The two RTZ signals are summed to yield the DAC output from said bit.
