Abstract

See full text

An apparatus, system, and method are provided for affording digital to analog converter (DAC) quantization noise that is independent of an input signal. In operation, an input signal for a DAC is received. Further, a particular signal is added to the input signal for the DAC, such that an output signal of the DAC includes quantization noise that is independent of the input signal (e.g. includes white noise, etc.), as a result of the particular signal being added to the input signal for the DAC.
