Abstract

Apparatus for converting an M-bit digital signal into an analogue signal. The apparatus comprising means (12,13) for mapping the M-bit digital signal to first and second digital values, so that the ratio of the first to the second digital value is equal to or approximates the value of the M-bit digital signal. First and second digital to analogue converters (14,15) are provided, the first digital to analogue converter (14) having an input for receiving said first digital value and the second digital to analogue converter (15) having an input for receiving said second digital value. Circuit means (16) is coupled to the analogue outputs of the digital to analogue converters (14,15) for dividing one of the analogue outputs by the other, and for providing the result to an output.
