Abstract
An electronic device includes a digital-to-analog converter coupled to receive a reference voltage and a binary-encoded digital input signal. The electronic device provides an analog output signal that represents the value of the binary-encoded digital input signal and a transmission gate is coupled to pass the analog output signal. A blank pulse generator is coupled to receive selected bits of the binary-encoded digital input signal and to pulse the transmission gate off when the selected bits change value, thus providing a blanked analog output signal.
