Abstract

The present disclosure provides a device and method of generating a nonlinear waveform signal dissipating low power and operating at a high speed. The device includes: a digital preprocessing unit configured to quantize an effective input signal to generate a linear data signal and a residual signal that is a difference between the effective input signal and the linear data signal; a nonlinear digital-to-analog conversion circuit (DAC) having a nonlinear relationship between an input and an output and configured to convert the linear data signal into a first analog signal; a linear interpolation DAC configured to convert the residual signal into a second analog signal to enable a generation of a converted analog signal by an addition of the second analog signal to the first analog signal; and an output circuit configured to output the converted analog signal as a nonlinear waveform signal.
