Abstract

A DDS type circuit structure for producing a numerically programmable square wave clock signal is presented. The high speed D/A converter needed in conventional DDS systems is replaced by a 32-tap digital-to-time interpolator that effectively increases the sampling rate to over 1 GHz. Thus the circuit can be used up to full clock rate without image filtering. A prototype IC with fclk of 30 MHz and SFDR of -40 dBc up to 10 MHz and -33 dBc up to 15 MHz has been designed and tested
