  • DYNAMIC DELAY ADJUSTMENT FOR MULTI-CHANNEL DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER SYNCHRONIZATION
    Publication number: 20190207614
    Abstract: An arbitrary waveform generator including a first processor configured to output first digital data, a second processor configured to output second digital data, a first digital-to-analog converter to receive the first digital data from the first processor and output a first analog signal representing the first digital data, a second digital-to-analog converter to receive the second digital data from the second processor and output a second analog signal representing the second digital data, a system phase detector to receive the first analog signal and the second analog signal and determine a phase difference between the first analog signal and the second analog signal, and a controller configured to receive the phase difference from the system phase detector and determine a delay time for the first processor to delay an output of third digital data based on the phase difference.
