DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17990737 titled 'DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The digital-to-analog converter described in the patent application includes a current source module, a decoder, a change indicator, and a random number generator. The decoder receives a digital input signal and generates a control signal to the current source module based on the input signal and an indication signal from the change indicator, which is generated using a random number signal from the random number generator. This process allows the current source module to produce an analog output signal corresponding to the digital input signal.

Original Abstract Submitted
A digital-to-analog converter and an operation method thereof are provided. The digital-to-analog converter includes a current source module, a decoder, a change indicator, and a random number generator. The decoder is coupled to the current source module and receives a digital input signal. The change indicator is coupled to the decoder and provides an indication signal to the decoder. The random number generator is coupled to the change indicator and provides a random number signal to the change indicator. The change indicator generates an indication signal according to the random number signal, and the decoder generates a control signal to the current source module according to the digital input signal and the indication signal, so that the current source module generates an analog output signal corresponding to the digital input signal according to the control signal.
