Abstract
A DTC circuit, includes: a DAC connected to a first node; a first switch connected between a first power source and a second node, and to provide a charge current to the second node according to a first switching signal; and a second switch connected between the first node and the second node, and to electrically connect the DAC to the second node according to a second switching signal. The DAC is to be charged to generate a voltage ramp corresponding to the charge current during a first DTC operational phase when the first and second switching signals have an active level to turn on the first and second switches, and to generate an input control word dependent voltage according to an input control word during a second DTC operational phase when the first and second switching signals have an inactive level to turn off the first and second switches.
