Abstract
The present invention may relate to a digital to analog converter for converting a digital signal to an analog signal. The digital to analog converter may comprise decoder logic, an array of clocked sub-circuits, a clock generator and a clock signal controller. The decoder logic may be configured to decode the digital signal to a plurality of control signals for controlling generation of the analog signal. The array of clocked sub-circuits may be configured to receive the control signals. The clock generator may be configured to generate a clock signal for clocking the sub-circuits. The clock signal controller may be configured to inhibit application of the clock signal to one or more of the sub-circuits.
