Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure include receiving a digital input signal having an identified value, determining a number of a plurality of converters, determining, based on the identified value and the number, a minimum number of one or more minimum output configurations, parsing the digital input into a plurality of individual bits, and transmitting the plurality of individual bits to the plurality of converters based on an output configuration of the one or more minimum output configurations.
Claims18
A method of efficient shuffling, comprising:
- receiving a digital input signal having an identified value;
- determining a number of a plurality of converters;
- determining, based on the identified value and the number, a minimum number of one or more minimum output configurations;
- parsing the digital input into a plurality of individual bits;
- and
- transmitting the plurality of individual bits to the plurality of converters based on an output configuration of the one or more minimum output configurations.
A controller of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit, comprising:
- a memory having instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- receive a digital input signal having an identified value;
- determine a number of a plurality of converters;
- determine, based on the identified value and the number, a minimum number of one or more minimum output configurations;
- parse the digital input into a plurality of individual bits;
- and
- transmit the plurality of individual bits to the plurality of converters based on an output configuration of the one or more minimum output configurations.
