Abstract
A system and method is provided for code independent switching in a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). A synchronous digital circuit is triggered by a synchronizing clocking signal and develops a digital data signal. A circuit arrangement provides the synchronizing clock a constant load at every clocking cycle, thereby assuring a data independent load. By providing a data independent load to the synchronizing clock at every clocking cycle, third harmonic distortion is advantageously reduced.
