Systems and methods of signed conversion

Abstract

Described herein are systems and methods related to a converter including a first input, a second input, and a number of digital to analog converter (DAC) cells. A DAC cell includes a first circuit, a first leg associated with a first output of the DAC cell, and a second leg associated with a second output of the DAC cell. The first circuit is configured to provide a return to zero operation. The DAC cell is configured to provide a data magnitude at a polarity on at least one of the first leg or the second leg during at least a portion of the clock cycle. The data magnitude and the polarity being provided in accordance with a first signal at the first input and a second signal at the second input.
