    摘要: A signal processing circuit is provided which includes a frequency selective network in a feedback loop for noise shaping purposes. A sampling analog-to-digital converter in the feedback loop operates at a sample frequency substantially above the Nyquist frequency. A switching device is driven by the sampling analog-to-digital converter and produces a continuous-time output signal which is continuously monitored by and fed back to the frequency selective network for noise and distortion correction in the feedback loop. This is in contrast to traditional techniques which employ only state feedback. State feedback (i.e., digital or sampled) of the output of the analog-to-digital converter may also be employed in combination with the continuous-time feedback of the switching device output.

    摘要: The transition time of power switching devices ultimately limits the rate at which such devices can be switched. Because the occurrence of unacceptably narrow pulses is relatively rare in an oversampled, noise-shaping signal processor, the elimination of such narrow pulses is introduced through the use of circuitry in the modulator loop which constrains the time between transitions to be greater than or equal to some minimum time period which, in turn provides for a smooth interface to power switching devices. However, because of the delay introduced by this pulse qualification circuitry, the modulator loop sampling frequency is increased to deal with any resulting instability. Thus, an oversampled, noise shaping signal processor is described having at least one integrator stage in a feedback loop. A sampling stage in the feedback loop is coupled to the at least one integrator stage. The sampling stage samples an analog signal at a sample frequency. Qualification logic coupled to the sampling stage receives a pulse waveform therefrom, and ensures that signal transitions in the pulse waveform occur more than a first time period apart and that the waveform can therefore be handled by, for example, a power switching device. A switching stage in the feedback loop is coupled to the qualification logic. The signal processor has a feedback path from the output of the switching stage to the input of the at least one integrator stage thereby closing the feedback loop.

    摘要: A modulator loop designed to operate in a frequency range of interest is described. The loop includes a loop output terminal and a switching stage, the output of which is coupled to the loop output terminal. The switching stage has a first delay associated therewith. The output of a modulator stage is coupled to the input of the switching stage. A first feedback path is coupled between the loop output terminal and the feedback input of the modulator stage. A feedback filter is coupled between the output of the modulator stage and the feedback input of the modulator stage which compensates for the first delay. The feedback filter is operable to transmit frequencies outside the frequency range of interest and attenuate frequencies in the frequency range of interest.
