Abstract

According to the present disclosure, aperiodic data is applied to parallel register (500). When a predetermined relationship between an aperiodic load signal and a periodic oversample clock signal occurs, the aperiodic data is latched to the output (506) of the parallel register as substantially periodic data. The substantially periodic data is loaded into a sigma-delta DAC (502) for processing. The sigma-delta DAC (502) is driven by a periodic oversample clock to produce a 1-bit oversampled, time averaged representation of the substantially periodic data.
