Abstract:
The invention relates to a digital noise shaper circuit for generating an output digital data stream having pre-defined noise characteristics from a multi-bit input digital data stream. The noise shaper circuit includes a greater than two-pole digital filter network (1902-1910) for receiving and processing an error signal to generate the output data stream, a comparator (1924) responsive to the output data stream for generating a feedback signal, a feedback processing network (1926-1934) responsive to the feedback signal for frequency-shaping the feedback signal, and adders (1912-1920) for digitally adding the multi-bit input digital data stream and the frequency-shaped feedback signal to generate the error signal.
Abstract:
An asynchronous digital sample rate converter includes a random access memory (100) for storing input data values, and a read only memory (104) for storing a reduced set of interpolation filter coefficients. Input data is written to the random access memory at the input sample rate. Output samples are provided from a multiply/accumulate engine which, given a stream of input data and filter coefficients, produces an output sample upon request at the output frequency. The initial address for reading input data from the random access memory, and the addresses for coefficients from the read only memory are provided by an auto-centering scheme which is a first order closed loop system with a digital integrator fed by an approximation of the input to output sample rate ratio. This auto-centering scheme may include a feed forward low pass filter to cancel steady state error, and an interpolated write address to reduce noise. A circuit determining the output to input sample rate ratios can also be provided to scale coefficient addresses and resulting output samples to allow for decimation. This circuit includes a form of digital hysteresis to eliminate noise. The ROM coefficients are reduced by relying on the symmetry of the impulse response of the interpolation filter and by utilizing a variable step size forward and backward linear interpolation.
