Abstract
An identical digital signal and a total of k different DC offset signals are provided to the respective ones of a total of k adders. Each of the adders outputs a signal representing the sum of the digital signal and the DC offset signal. The adders are connected to the respective .SIGMA..DELTA. type D/A converters and the output signals of the k type D/A converters are summed up to form a single output signal. Any two of the levels of the DC offset signals given to the k adders differ from each other by equal to or greater than 0.2% of the full scale value of the .SIGMA..DELTA. type D/A converters. With such an arrangement, the performance of the .SIGMA..DELTA. type D/A converters can be remarkably improved without raising the sampling rate and the number of orders of the type D/A converters.
