Abstract

A digital-to-analog converter includes a sampled data sigma-delta modulator to resample and coarsely quantize the digital samples to be converted. The coarsely quantized samples are converted to sequences of pulses which are applied to a pulse sensitive analog integrator to develop analog representations of the digital signal.
