This thread evolved a topic, which is about coding 1-bit DACs to optimize the tradeoffs between bandwidth, ripple, accuracy, and edge density, and the associated coding algorithms. I learned some things. I kind of like the idea of using a few bursts of {+-1}-unequal pulses in each sample period, which could be done with a forward algorithm or a delta-sigma sort of feedback.

You had nothing to say on topic. Why?

Dullsville... did that when I was a kid. (Actually designed a chip to do what you, as a clear-case amateur, only allude to >:-} ...Jim Thompson

Still zero content.

Tell us about your chip and the algorithm.

Why should I tell the resident pompous asshole ?:-)

Anyone else may contact me directly.

The problem, of course, is that when you do post content, it tends to be wrong. I can see how you don't want to do that in public.

You really are mentally ill. Why don't you face it and seek treatment, and knock off the bull s*it? ...Jim Thompson

Why don't you post stuff on-topic, that's not 40 years old?

John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc jlarkin att highlandtechnology dott com http://www.highlandtechnology.com

As soon as you face the FACT that you're mentally ill.

Plus you're a liar on the level of Reid... I _do_ post contemporaneous stuff. You... all you do is bloviate. Aren't you not yet aware that everyone here sees that? ...Jim Thompson

John Larkin occasionally posts interesting stuff, and - unlike Jim Thompson - he explains more or less what it does and how it works.

Jim Thompson wants us to work out what his circuits do for him, and has yet to post a simple and coherent explanation of what one of his circuits does and how it works. Winfield Hill did that, and Phil Hobbs does too - both h ave written text-books, and it shows. Maybe Jim should try that sometime.
