Abstract
The invention is a method and apparatus for a digital DSL line driver that comprise a multi stage delta-sigma modulator with a high current 1-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) output stage. By adding the high current drive capability to the 1-bit DAC in a delta-sigma digital-to-analog converter the traditional DSL line driver used in digital subscriber lines applications is made less complex and it saves on the overall power consumption. The invention uses a transistor switch arrangement to save the overall power by alternately switching “ON” some the transistors while having other transistor turned “OFF”.
