Patent number: 5181034Abstract: Signal sources are arranged in a matrix form and provide preset analog values. Switching means are connected between signal sources and an analog output terminal having connection paths to the respective signal sources. Latch circuits are respectively provided for switch control circuits for controlling the switching means. Each of the latch circuits latches a control signal from a corresponding one of the switch control circuits and outputs the control signal in response to a preset synchronizing signal to a corresponding one of the switching means. The switching means are simultaneously controlled by output signals of decoders so that a desired analog output is permitted to be derived from the output terminal. The period of the clock signal can be shorten and a switching operation causing variation exceeding a desired variation occurring when the digital signal is changed can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1992Date of Patent: January 19, 1993Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Hiroshi Takakura, Akira Yamaguchi, Tetsuya Iida
