    摘要: A phase-domain delta-sigma (ΔΣ) modulator in a phase digitizer determines a demodulated phase error based on a phase-modulated frequency signal, in which a carrier frequency is modulated with a fundamental frequency and an associated phase, and a selected one of a set of reference signals, where the demodulated phase error represents a difference between the phase and a reference phase of the selected one of the set of reference signals. Moreover, a digital filter in the phase-domain ΔΣ modulator filters the demodulated phase error. Furthermore, a latch in the phase-domain ΔΣ modulator provides a bit stream by sampling one or more bits of the filtered demodulated phase error, where an average value of the bit stream represents the phase. Next, control logic in the phase-domain ΔΣ modulator selects the one of the set of reference signals.

    摘要: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is described. This ADC converts an analog signal into a digital value using a two-pass digitization process. In a first operation, coarse digitization is performed by an averaging converter based on a set of references. Then, in a second operation, fine digitization is performed by either another averaging converter or the same averaging converter based on a subset of the set of references that is progressively closer to an instantaneous value of the analog signal. For example, the coarse digitization may be performed by a low-resolution ADC stage and the fine digitization may be performed by a sigma-delta ADC, such as a single-bit sigma-delta ADC. Moreover, the other averaging converter may use dynamic element matching to shuffle reference elements used to generate the subset. In this way, the ADC may provide high resolution with reduced nonlinearity and quantization noise.

    摘要: A sequence mapping circuit and method for digital audio circuits generates a pulsed output. Over time, the mapping circuit generates pulses with a substantially identical average centroid for each of the possible output waveforms. For at least some of the output waveforms, two or more sets of pulses are provided representing the same waveform but having different centroids. The output is alternated among the available sets of pulses to maintain the desired average centroid over time. Shuffling of the output among the available pulses representing a given waveform may be randomly determined, or the pulses used may be tracked and the output pulses sequentially alternated among the available output pulses. The shuffled mapping method reduces output harmonics compared to conventional static mappers.

    摘要: A modulator circuit receives a modulator input signal and produces a mapper output signal. The modulator circuit includes a filter circuit that generates an output that is a function of the modulator input signal and of the mapper output signal. A quantizer receives the filter output signal and produces a quantized representation of the filter output signal. A mapper receives the quantizer output and generates the mapper output signal.

    摘要: A pipeline AD converter comprising a cascade of AD-converter stages, whereby the sampling noise generated by a former stage of the cascade is AD-converted by the next stage in the cascade and the digital signals of the stages are combined to generate an error-reduced digital representation of the analog input signal. Applying the input signal to a synchronous nullnull modulator and to an asynchronous nullnull modulator and comparing the output signals of the nullnull modulators generates the sampling noise.

    摘要: A multi-bit continuous-time sigma-delta modulator, SDM, includes an input configured to receive an input analog signal; a first summing junction configured to subtract a feedback analog signal from the input analog signal; a loop filter configured to filter an output signal from the first summing junction (304): an analog-to-digital converter, ADC, configured to convert the filtered analog output signal to a digital output signal; and a feedback path for routing the digital output signal to the first summing junction. The feedback path includes a plurality of digital-to-analog converters, DACs, configured to convert the digital output signal to an analog form. The ADC comprises a plurality of N-bit comparator latches that are each locally time-interleaved with at least a pair of latches and configured to function in a complementary manner and provide a combined complementary output.
