Mixed mode multiply and accumulate unit
Systems and methods to implement a multiply and accumulate (MAC) unit is described. In an example, a device can include a first current mode digital-to-analog converter (DAC) configured to multiply an input signal with a first current having a first amplitude to generate a first signal. The device can further include a second current mode DAC configured to multiply the input signal with a second current having a second amplitude to generate a second signal. The second amplitude can be less than the first amplitude. The device can further include a mixer configured to multiply the second signal with a clock signal to generate a third signal. The third signal can be combined with the first signal via a current summing node to generate an output signal. The output signal can be outputted to another device.

Digital-to-analog converter with reference voltage selection switch
A digital-to-analog converter includes an array of capacitors, an array of capacitor switches, positive and negative high-bandwidth reference buffers, positive and negative low-bandwidth reference buffers, and a reference-voltage-selection switch. Each capacitor switch electrically couples a respective capacitor to either a positive or a negative reference voltage line. The reference-voltage-selection switch electrically couples the positive and negative reference voltage lines to either positive and negative high-bandwidth voltages or to positive and negative low-bandwidth voltages. The positive and negative high-bandwidth voltages are produced by the positive and negative high-bandwidth reference buffers. The positive and negative low-bandwidth voltages are produced by the positive and negative low-bandwidth reference buffers.

The transceiver is configured to reduce distortion contributions associated with echo cancelling. The transmitter provides a replica signal and a transmit signal. The replica signal and the transmit signal can be provided using a common switch.
WAVEFORM GENERATING DEVICE, WAVEFORM GENERATING METHOD, AND CHARGED PARTICLE BEAM IRRADIATION APPARATUS
In one embodiment, a waveform generating device includes a first DA converter converting input data, a controller outputting a first signal having a command value based on the input data, and a second signal having a command value differing by a constant value from the first signal, a second DA converter converting the first signal, a third DA converter converting the second signal, and a combiner combining the output of the first DA converter, the output of the second DA converter, and the output of the third DA converter. When a value of a predetermined first high-order bit of the input data is inverted, the controller changes the command value of the first signal such that a value of the first high-order bit or a second high-order bit different from the first high-order bit is inverted.
