Abstract

Channel select filter circuits are described. One circuit implements a multiplying element and digital-to-analog converter as a differential current mode device. Another circuit implementing a multiplying element and digital-to-analog converter with weighted addition, deferred after multiplication of the digital-to-analog converter and multiplier combination. In one such circuit, substantially equal current source magnitudes are in different columns of the circuit. Another such circuit, with substantially equal current source magnitudes, uses non-radix2. Another such circuit, with substantially equal current source magnitudes, has partial segmentation. Another circuit implements a multiplying element and digital-to-analog converter, with partial segmentation, scrambling bit allocation for elements. One such circuit scrambles bit allocation on equally weighted segments, as described herein. Another circuit implements a multiplying element and digital-to-analog converter with selective enablement of duplicate current source devices. Another circuit implements a multiplying element and digital-to-analog converter with variable effective length of the digital-to-analog converter. In one such circuit one or more current sources of a multiplier element are deselected to remove a noise contribution of the multiplier element, as described herein. A complex filter circuit includes a pair of real finite impulse response filter circuits performing addition and subtraction in current domain, sharing a common resistor network to perform weighted addition. One such circuit further includes a second pair of real finite impulse response filter circuits performing addition and subtraction in current domain, sharing a second common resistor network to perform weighted addition.
