Abstract
A dynamic element matching (DEM) encoder is provided that converts an N-bit digital codeword into a pattern of 1-bit values. The DEM encoder includes a binary switching tree that includes plurality of switching blocks interconnected between an encoder input and a plurality of encoder outputs. The plurality of switching blocks are configured to receive a plurality of first control signals such that each switching block receives a respective first control signal and is independently programmable based on the respective first control signal into a first mode or a second mode. Each switching block includes a splitting circuit programmed into the first mode or the second mode to split a digital input into two digital outputs using either both a first splitting operation and a second splitting operation that is different from the first splitting operation or the first splitting operation over the plurality of sampling intervals.
