Arrangement for converting binary input signal into corresponding in-phase and quadrature phase signals

Claim 1

An arrangement for converting binary input data into corresponding in-phase and quadrature signals, comprising: a counter which receives a first clock signal and counts clock pulses of said first clock signal up to N (N is a natural number), said counter generating, at a given time point, a plurality of counter outputs which includes a second clock signal the frequency of which is 1/N of said first clock signal; a shift register which includes a plurality of shift stages from which shifted data are derived, said shift register being coupled to said counter so as to acquire the binary input data and shifting same in response to said second clock signal applied from said counter; a first memory section having a look-up table including cosine data pre-stored therein, said first memory section is coupled to said shift register and said counter so as to receive an address signal which consists of first bit signals received from the shift stages and second bit signals received as the counter output from said counter, said first memory section producing an output defined by said address signal; a second memory section having a look-up table including sine data pre-stored therein said second memory section being coupled to said shift register and said counter so as to receive said address signal and produce an output defined thereby; a sequential logic coupled to said counter and said shift register, said sequential logic producing outputs in response to both said second clock signal and one of the shifted data of said shift register; and an output controller which includes first and second output terminals and first and second memory output polarity controllers which are respectively coupled to receive the outputs of said first and second memory sections, said output controller also including first and second input data selectors each of which is coupled to said first and second memory output polarity controllers, said first and second input data selectors also being coupled to said first and second output terminals, said output controller selectively reversing a polarity of each of the outputs of said first and second memory sections under control of said sequential logic, said output controller selectively steering the outputs of said first and second memory sections to said first and second output terminals under control of said sequential logic.
