摘要:
A delta sigma modulator (DSM) and a method for the DSM performing modulation, wherein, the method includes: pre-processing inputted data; predicting a DSM modulation result according to the current data; finally, performing a DSM modulation on the current data according to the pre-processed data and the prediction result. An embodiment of the present invention pre-processes the inputted data and predicts a DSM modulation result so as to realize a multistage pipeline register structure in DSM, thus improving timing sequences of key sections such as adders without affecting characteristics of an original transfer function, thereby increasing sampling frequency of circuit operations and improving SNR performance.

摘要:
A technique for correcting higher order delta sigma modulators (204, 300) in audio components, which use mutually nonlinar feedback and feed forward functions (136, 138, 140, 142, 214, 216, 218, 200, 324, 326, 328, 330, 332, 1202, 1204). Methods and apparatus are provided to correct jitter and spread in the delta sigma converter due to quantization error, to permit the processing of data streams entering the converter at a different clock rate from that of the modulator, and to permit step up ratios to be changed on the fly in order to reduce radio frequency interference from the output signal.
摘要:
A signal processor for 1-bit signals comprises a fifth order Delta-Sigma Modulator (DSM) having an input 4 for receiving a 1-bit signal and an output 5 at which a processed 1-bit signal is produced by a quantizer Q. The quantizer Q receives a p-bit signal from a series of 5 signal integration stages. Each stage comprises a first 1-bit multiplier An coupled to the input 4, a second 1-bit multiplier Cn coupled to the output 5, an adder 6n which sums the outputs of the coefficient multipliers and an integrator 7n which integrates the output of the adder 6n. A final stage comprises a coefficient multiplier An+1 and an adder 6n+1. The adder 6n+1 sums the output of the coefficient multiplier An+1 and the output of the integrator of the preceding integration stage. The coefficients An and Cn are chosen to provide an overall attenuation of the input signal and of the quantization noise produced by the quantizer and also to provide a low pass filter which provides a compensating gain to the input signal. In this way the quantization noise outside the band of the input signal is reduced. Reduction of quantization noise enhances stability of the circuit and also allows several DSMs to be connected in series by preventing the build-up of excess noise which may compromise stability.
