    摘要: In a delta-sigma A/D converter provided with plural channels for converting an analog input signal into a digital signal, an adverse influence of an idle tone is reduced in each channel. The delta-sigma A/D converter comprises: a first quantizer which quantizes and outputs a received signal; a first D/A converter which converts an output signal of the first quantizer into an analog signal, and outputs the converted analog signal; a first operation unit which outputs a signal indicative of a difference of the first analog input signal and an output signal of the first D/A converter; a first integrator which integrates an output signal of the first operation unit and outputs the integrated signal; a first dither circuit which generates a first dither signal; and a second operation unit which adds the first dither signal to the output signal of the first integrator and outputs the added signal to the first quantizer.

    摘要: A signal transmission apparatus that transmits a 1-bit signal obtained by delta-sigma modulation is provided. In the signal transmission apparatus, a pseudo-random noise pattern having a data rate equal to that of the delta-sigma modulated 1-bit signal is generated, and the 1-bit signal is code-modulated using the generated pseudo-random noise pattern. The generated pseudo-random noise pattern and the code-modulated signal obtained through code modulation are transmitted via a transmission line. The transmitted code-modulated signal is demodulated using the transmitted pseudo-random noise pattern.

    摘要: A system-on-chip (SoC) integrated circuit including an interleaved delta-sigma analog to digital converter (ADC) provides for reduced noise in the ADC conversions. The ADC is operated intermittently and the balance of the digital circuits forming the system are halted while the conversions take place. The halted portion of the system may include an output low-pass filter of the ADC. The system may include a processor core or other logic having a clock frequency unrelated to the ADC modulator clock frequency that is not otherwise clock-managed to reduce noise induced in the converter output by the operation of the core or other logic.

    摘要: A delta-sigma having quantizer code pattern detection controlled dither reduces the probability of “stuck” code sequences that occur when the input signal and feedback signal are equal and thus no quantizer output change occurs. In particular, in modulators that are periodically reset, the pattern detection and dither control reduce the probability of a stuck code sequence at startup. A pattern detection circuit detects a sequence of unchanging quantizer output values and injects a signal at the quantizer input to cause the quantizer to change levels. The injected signal may be a dither signal that is increased in amplitude in response to the detection of unchanging code sequences and then decreased when the quantizer output changes.

    摘要: A digital modulator includes a quantizer and a mapper. The quantizer converts a dithered signal value to a voltage. The mapper provides a modulated signal based on the voltage received from the quantizer. The mapper may maintain a substantially identical average centroid for modulated signals provided by the mapper. In an aspect, the mapper is included in a feedback of the digital modulator. The digital modulator may include any number of mappers. For example, a mode selection switch may select one of a plurality of mappers to map a voltage level received from the quantizer to a respective digital sequence.

    摘要: A dithering method is provided for sigma-delta converters in a deep-submicron process. The dither is a random interleaving of quantizer thresholds levels. The random interleaving dither is more effective than previous static dither methods to remove idle channel tones of sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters (ADC). The dither is easy to implement and takes less area than other dynamic dither methods.
