Digital to Analog Converters

Ridgetop Group offers a range of digital-to-analog converter (ADC) intellectual property (IP) blocks, including radiation-hardened blocks. Architectures includes delta-sigma and current steering.

RG16100: DAC 16-BIT, 100 KSPS, TSMC 250 NM IP CORE

DAC_layout

Ridgetop’s audio DAC uses delta-sigma architecture. As shown in the illustration above, the DAC uses a digital interpolation filter, a digital second-order delta-sigma modulator, and a 32-tap analog reconstruction filter FIR. A fourth-order modulator is available to decrease oversampling ratio if the application requires. Applications for this core include audio commercial electronics, industrial control, and automotive.
