    摘要: Apparatus are provided for continuous-time sigma-delta modulators. A sigma-delta modulator comprises a quantizer configured to convert an analog signal to a digital value. A main feedback arrangement is coupled to the quantizer, and the main feedback arrangement delays the digital value by a first delay period and generates a main feedback signal based on the delayed value. A compensation feedback arrangement is coupled to the quantizer, and compensation feedback arrangement delays the digital value by a second delay period and generates a compensation feedback signal based on the delayed value. A forward signal arrangement produces the analog signal at the quantizer based on an input signal, the main feedback signal, and the compensation feedback signal. The second delay period is independent of and is not influenced by the first delay period, and the second delay period is chosen such that the compensation feedback signal compensates for the first delay period.

    摘要: A double sampled switched capacitor architecture as described herein includes an amplifier having two separate inputs corresponding to two separate amplifier sections. The amplifier uses a first differential transistor pair for the first amplifier section, a second differential transistor pair for the second amplifier section, a first tail current bias arrangement for the first differential transistor pair, and a second tail current bias arrangement for the second differential transistor pair. The tail current bias arrangements are driven by a bias switching architecture that alternately activates one tail current bias arrangement while at least partially deactivating the other tail current bias arrangement. The amplifier and bias switching architecture cooperate to eliminate gain error that would otherwise be caused by a common parasitic capacitance shared by a single amplifier section.
