Abstract: In one embodiment, a clock generator generates a clock signal, and a clock channel generates a filtered clock signal from the clock signal. The clock channel comprises at least one filter that (i) attenuates noise in at least one Nyquist zone of the clock signal adjacent to the fundamental frequency and (ii) passes at least one harmonic frequency of the clock signal other than the fundamental frequency. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) digitizes an analog input signal based on the filtered clock signal. Attenuating noise in the Nyquist zones reduces jitter of the filtered clock signal, and passing at least one harmonic frequency of the clock signal other than the fundamental frequency limits the degradation of the slew rate of the clock signal. As a result, the filtered clock signal increases the signal-to-noise ratio of the output of the DAC.
