Abstract
A Delta-Sigma DAC is provided, comprising an interpolator, a Delta-Sigma modulator, a FIR filter and an analog filter. The interpolator oversamples a n-bit digital signal to generate a n-bit oversampled signal. The Delta-Sigma modulator coupled to the output of interpolator shapes the n-bit oversampled digital signal to generate a shaped digital signal. The FIR filter coupled to the Delta-Sigma modulator filters the shaped digital signal to generate an analog audio signal. The analog filter coupled to the FIR filter amplifies the analog audio signal to generate a audible signal.
