- a digital analog converter that converts discrete digital data into a continuous analog signal.
- a D / A using an over-sampling technique to obtain a continuous analog audio signal from discrete music data (digital data).
- Digital-analog converters are used.
- Such a D / A converter generally uses a digital filter to interpolate between input digital data and increase the sampling frequency in a pseudo manner.
- a step-like signal waveform is generated and then passed through a mouth-to-pass filter to output a smooth analog audio signal.
- FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram of the sinc function.
- the sine function appears when the Fourier transform of the Dirac delta function is performed, and is defined as sine (; rft) / (; rft) when the sampling frequency is f.
- oversampling has been performed by using a digital filter in which the waveform data of the sinc function is set to the tap count of a FIR (finite impulse response) filter.
- FIR finite impulse response
- an interpolation operation between discrete audio data is performed by a digital filter.
- a digital filter When oversampling technology is used, a low-pass filter with a gentle attenuation characteristic can be used, so that the phase characteristic of the one-pass filter approaches the linear phase characteristic and the sampling aliasing noise can be reduced.
- Such effects become more pronounced as the pseudo-sampling frequency is increased, but as the sampling frequency is increased, the processing speed of the digital filter / sample-and-hold circuit is correspondingly increased. It is necessary to use unnecessary parts, which leads to an increase in component costs.
- the original sampling frequency itself is high (for example, several MHz) as in image data
- oversampling is performed by using a component that can operate at tens to hundreds of MHz.
- a digital filter and a sample-and-hold circuit had to be configured, which was not easy to achieve.
- the conventional D / A converter to which the over-sampling technique is applied requires high-speed components in order to increase the sampling frequency in a simulated manner. Did not.

In this way, a predetermined step function corresponding to a plurality of digital data input sequentially is generated for each of a plurality of digital data, and the value of each step function is added.
- the analog signal that changes continuously can be obtained by converting it into a signal and integrating it, so there is no need to use a low-pass filter to obtain the final analog signal, and the phase characteristic depends on the frequency of the signal to be handled It is unusual for the group delay characteristic to deteriorate due to the difference, and an output waveform with little distortion can be obtained. Also, compared to the conventional method that performed oversampling, there is no need to increase the operation speed of components, so there is no need to use expensive components and component costs can be reduced.
- the step function described above it is preferable to use a waveform obtained by differentiating each piecewise polynomial a plurality of times with respect to a predetermined sampling function composed of piecewise polynomials.
- a waveform corresponding to the predetermined sampling function can be obtained, so that convolution operation by the sampling function is equivalent to combining the step function. Since the processing can be simplified, the amount of processing required to convert digital data into an analog signal can be reduced.
- the above-mentioned sampling function be differentiable only once in the entire region and have a finite value.
- Various signals existing in the natural world are considered to need to be differentiable because they change smoothly, but the number of differentiable times does not necessarily need to be infinite, but rather only once. It is thought that natural phenomena can be sufficiently approximated.
- there are many advantages to using a sampling function that is finitely differentiable and finite in number but it has been conventionally thought that there is no sampling function that satisfies such a condition.
- the research by the present inventors has found a function that satisfies the above conditions.
- the sampling function described above indicates that the sampling position t is 0 between -2 and +2.
- step function waveform corresponding to such a sampling function in a predetermined range corresponding to five equally-spaced digital data, one, +3, +5,- ⁇ — 7, + It is possible to use one consisting of eight divided areas of the same width weighted with 5, +3 and _1.
- this weighting process converts the digital data itself to the result of multiplying by 1, 2, +2, +4, 18, 8, 18, +4, +2, -2 times by bit shifting. It is preferable to realize by adding. Since the multiplication is performed by bit shifting, the processing can be simplified and speeded up.
