    摘要: A device includes a local oscillator, an all-digital phase-locked loop, a digital signal generator, sampling circuitry, and an interface. The local oscillator generates a local clock signal. The all-digital phase locked loop generates a sampling control signal. The ADPLL includes a phase-error detector, a digital filter and a sigma-delta modulator. The phase detector generates a phase error signal based on a loop clock signal and a received reference signal. The digital filter generates a signal indicative of a frequency ratio between a frequency of the reference clock signal and the local clock frequency based on the phase error signal. The sigma-delta modulator generates a modulated signal based on the signal indicative of the frequency ratio. The sampling control signal is based on the modulated signal. The sampling circuitry samples digital signals generated by the digital signal generator at a sampling frequency, which is a function of the sampling control signal.

    摘要: A circuit includes an amplifier, a bias voltage node, and a first set of switches configured, based on a first reset signal having a first value, to couple first and second input nodes to the bias voltage node and to couple first and second output nodes of the amplifier. First and second feedback branches each include a respective RC network including a plurality of capacitances. The first and second feedback branches further include a second set of switches intermediate input nodes and the capacitances, and a third set of switches intermediate input nodes and the plurality of capacitances. These switches selectively couple the capacitances to the input nodes and output nodes, based on a second reset signal having a first value. The second reset signal keeps the first value for a determined time interval exceeding a time interval in which the first reset signal has the first value.

    摘要: A delta-sigma modulation circuit has a sampling period and, in operation, generates a delta-sigma modulated signal based on the analog input signal. The delta-sigma modulation circuit includes: a first integrator; an analog-to-digital converter; a feedback-loop coupled between an input of the first integrator and the output interface; a second integrator coupled between the first integrator and the analog-to-digital converter. The delta-sigma modulation circuit has loop-delay compensation circuitry having a plurality of switches. The loop delay compensation circuitry, in operation, controls the plurality of switches based on a time interval of a duration of half the sampling period and generates a loop-delay compensation signal.
