Abstract

A method for operating a DAC to minimize digital feedthrough includes inputting a clock signal to a DAC clock input, the clock signal having a periodic series of trigger events, wherein input data must be present for a time window between a setup time before a trigger event and a hold time after the trigger event; generating an input data stream, the input data stream having data that is present for the time window; altering the input data stream into a cancellation data stream wherein the data presence is maintained but pseudo-data outside of the time window is added; and applying the cancellation data stream to a DAC data input resulting in an analog signal output.
