APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MULTI-CHANNEL DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERSION OF SIGNALS WITH DIFFERENT SAMPLE RATES

An apparatus and method for converting digital input signals sampled at different rates to analog signals includes a digital to analog converter for each digital input signal. Each digital to analog converter receives a digital input signal and a clock signal corresponding to the sampling rate of the received digital input signal. The apparatus can also receive a set of sample rate signals indicating the sampling rate for each digital input signal. The sample rate signals are used to route each digital input signal, along with a corresponding clock signal, to a corresponding digital to analog converter (DAC). A clock error signal controls routing of the digital input signals to the DACs as well as operation of the DACs. A clock divider and ratio detector module generates the clock error signal based on intermediate clock error signals that correspond to the sample rates.
