    摘要: Data is communicated. In accordance with one or more example embodiments, a communications circuit communicates a digital data signal using a carrier signal having a frequency that is different than the frequency of the data signal. The communications circuit includes first and second sets of capacitors, a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit generates mixed data signals respectively mixed with the carrier signal and an inverse of the carrier signal, generates mixed inverted data signals respectively mixed with the carrier signal and an inverse of the carrier signal, provides the mixed data signals to the first set of capacitors, and provides the mixed inverted data signals to the second set of capacitors. The second circuit recovers the data signal from the mixed signals.

    摘要: A current leakage limit circuit connected to a circuit with current leakage and a leakage compensation circuit includes a first current mirror with a first transistor and a second transistor and a current source connected to the first transistor. The second transistor is connected between the circuit and the leakage compensation circuit and limits a compensation current flowing between the circuit and the leakage compensation circuit. The current flowing from the current source through the first transistor limits the current flowing through the second transistor.

    摘要: A system and method of analog to digital conversion including an adjustable ADC, FIR filter circuitry, and a noise setting controller. The ADC samples an analog input signal to provide digital samples at a sample rate that is Y times an output rate of output digital values. The FIR filter circuitry includes Y taps with Y corresponding coefficients and is configured to filter the digital samples from the ADC and to provide filtered digital samples at the sample rate. decimation circuitry may be included to decimate the filtered digital samples by Y to provide the output digital values. The noise setting controller provides an adjustment value to the ADC to adjust noise contribution of the digital samples provided by the ADC based on corresponding coefficients of the FIR filter circuitry. The ADC is adjusted to reduce noise contribution of digital samples that correspond with higher FIR filter coefficients.
