1. A method for the generation of drive signals for a multilevel generator comprising a plurality of cells that are switchable independently of each other, each cell of the plurality of cells operable to output a cell voltage based on a respective drive signal, wherein the drive signals of the plurality of cells overall are operable to output a multilevel quantized reference signal, the method comprising:

  • splitting the multilevel quantized reference signal such that at least two of the drive signals contribute to a quantization level of the quantized reference signal in a predetermined period, the at least two drive signals being of different cells of the plurality of cells.
