摘要:
An apparatus includes a clock source and an oversampled continuous-time digital-to-analog converter. Noise signal is added to the clock signal as the clock signal is generated and/or routed. The oversampled continuous-time digital-to-analog converter includes a sigma-delta modulator to perform noise shaping on input data samples and provide intermediate data samples; a filter to filter the intermediate data samples and generate filtered samples, the filter having a transfer function that has a stop band at a frequency range that includes the frequency of the noise signal or a component of the noise signal; and a continuous-time digital-to-analog converter to convert the filtered samples to an output analog signal.
摘要:
A circuit for calibrating selective coefficients of a delta-sigma modulator is provided. The circuit includes a calibration logic module that is coupled to one of a plurality of stages of the delta-sigma modulator. The calibration logic module measures the oscillating frequency of a respective stage and compares it to a reference frequency. The calibration logic adjusts a selective circuit component associated with the respective stage so that the reference frequency and the oscillating frequency match.
