Sigma-Delta DAC

Started by sequ...@gmail.com January 4, 2007
I've been looking for a circuit schematic of a DAC using a second order delta-sigma modulator with no sucess.
I was just wondering if anyone here had a transistor level schematic or anything that would help me.
I've only come up upon delta-sigma modulators used in ADCs, can this same circuit be used in a DAC?
For example: http://www.utdallas.edu/~hellums/docs/EE7326/Brandt1.pdf
On the top of page 4, does anyone know if that can be used in a DAC as well?
Please anything would help me, I've spent hours researching and it seems that it has been wasted time.
Thanks in advance

What about starting from this:

and working it out to discrete design.
