Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are provided for spreading spectral density of pulse streams during digital to analog conversion. An example system may comprise an accumulator circuit, a bit generator circuit, and a feedback circuit. The accumulator circuit may be operable to receive a signal to be spread and generate an output based on the signal to be spread and on one or more inputs generated within the system. The bit generator circuit may be operable to input into the accumulator circuit sequences meeting at least one particular criterion. The feedback circuit may be operable to apply an adjustment to a signal corresponding to an output of the accumulator circuit to generate a feedback signal, and input the feedback signal into the accumulator circuit.
