Current output circuit

A current output circuit, comprising:

• a separation circuit that separates a digital pseudo sine wave into first and second digital pseudo half-waves;
• a first digital-to-analog (DA) converter that converts the first digital pseudo half-wave into a first analog half-wave signal;
• and
• a second DA converter that converts the second digital pseudo half-wave into a second analog half-wave signal,
• wherein the pseudo sine wave is represented by a digital code having an n bit width, in which n is a natural number,
• wherein a first reference voltage that determines a reference value of an output is supplied to a high-potential power supply terminal of the first DA converter, and a first bias voltage that determines an amplitude of the output is supplied to a low-potential power supply terminal of the first DA converter,
• wherein a second reference voltage that determines a reference value of an output is supplied to a low-potential power supply terminal of the second DA converter, and a second bias voltage that determines an amplitude of the output is supplied to a high-potential power supply terminal of the second DA converter,
• wherein a potential difference between the first reference voltage and the first bias voltage is substantially a same as a potential difference between the second reference voltage and the second bias voltage,
• wherein the separation circuit comprises:
• a plurality of OR circuits that output a logical OR between a value of a most significant bit representing a code in the digital code and values of bits other than the most significant bit as the first pseudo half-wave;
• and
• a plurality of AND circuits that output a logical AND between the value of the most sign leant bit in the digital code and the values of the hits other than the most significant bit as the second pseudo half-wave, and
• wherein the first reference voltage includes a power supply voltage, and the second reference voltage includes a ground voltage.
