More Information
Summary:A device, system, and method of a programmable circuit configured to operate in a buffered drive mode and blanking mode is disclosed. The programmable circuit includes a continuous-time digital-to-analog converter (CTDAC), a continuous-time block (CTB), coupled to the CTDAC, and a sample and hold (SH) circuit coupled to the CTDAC and the CTB. The programmable circuit is configured to operate in a buffered drive mode to buffer an output signal from the CTDAC. The programmable circuit, in buffered drive mode, is further configured to operate in a blanking mode to cause the SH circuit to perform a blanking operation on the CTDAC output signal.
