摘要:
The present invention is directed to a sigma-delta digital to analog converted (DAC) including a digital-sigma delta modulator, a decimation filter, and a multi-bit DAC. The digital sigma-delta modulator receives a digital input signal and produces a quantized digital signal therefrom. The decimation filter receives the quantized digital signal and produces a decimated digital signal therefrom. The multi-bit DAC receives the decimated digital signal and produces an analog output signal therefrom. The analog output signal is representative of the digital input signal.

Methods and apparatuses for spectrally shaping mismatch errors in a multi-bit digital to analog converter (DAC). In an embodiment, the multi-bit DAC is constructed from K separate multi-element sub-DACs, where K and the number of elements in each sub-DAC are each preferably greater than two. A received digital input code is split into a set of K sub-codes corresponding to the digital input code. The set of K sub-codes can have one of at least N different sub-code orders that specify an order of each of the K sub-codes with respect to one another, where N>2. A sum of the K sub-codes equals the digital input code. One of the at least N different sub-code orders is selected using a shuffling algorithm. Then, each sub-code in the set of K sub-codes is output in accordance with the selected sub-code order.

Methods and apparatuses for spectrally shaping mismatch errors in a multi-bit digital to analog converter (DAC). In an embodiment, a range signal is produced based on the digital input code. The range signal specifies which one of a plurality of ranges the digital input code is within. A density code is also produced, preferably, using a shuffling algorithm. The density code specifies a level within the range expressed by the range signal. The range signal and the density code are then combined to produce a plurality of sub-codes, a sum of the plurality of sub-codes equaling the digital input code.

In a high-fidelity digital modulator, a mapper is provided to minimize quantization noise, jitter, and cross-talk between multiple digital-to-analog or analog-to-digital converters. The mapper receives a quantized level from a quantizer and maps the quantized level to an output sequence. The mapper includes a table defining multiple sequences corresponding to each quantized level. Each sequence includes two or more symbols, having one of multiple values. The mapper also includes a generator that selects one of the multiple sequences as the output sequence. The last symbol of a first output sequence is equal to the first symbol of the next output sequence and so on. The generator selects the output sequence by alternating between a first and a second sequence for each quantized level received. The generator selects the output sequence by alternating between sequences having a positive and a negative common mode energy for each odd valued quantized level received.

A network gateway is configured to facilitate on line and off line bi-directional communication between a number of near end data and telephony devices with far end data termination devices via a hybrid fiber coaxial network and a cable modem termination system. The described network gateway combines a QAM receiver, a transmitter, a DOCSIS MAC, a CPU, a voice and audio processor, a voice synchronizer, an Ethernet MAC, and a USB controller to provide high performance and robust operation.
