摘要:
A sigma-delta modulator has a chopper voltage reference providing a reference signal having a clock dependent offset voltage, a single-bit or a multi-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC); a plurality of capacitor pairs; a plurality of switches to couple any capacitor pair to an input or reference signal; and a control unit controlling sampling through said switches to perform a charge transfer in two phases wherein any capacitor pair can be selected to be assigned to the input or reference signal, wherein after a plurality of charge transfers a gain error cancellation is performed by rotating the capacitor pairs cyclically, and wherein a DAC output value and a reference offset state define switching sequences wherein each switching sequence independently rotates said capacitor pairs and wherein at least one switching sequence is selected depending on a current DAC output value and a current reference offset state.

Unique addresses for a plurality of devices may be programmed through a single external connection (pin) on each device by using a one of a plurality of different analog voltage or current values on the single external pin in combination with a serial clock of a serial data bus for each device requiring a unique binary address. The unique binary address is stored in the device after detection of certain number of clocks on the serial data bus. Once the unique binary address has been stored in the device, the single external connection may be used for another purpose such as a multifunction external connection. This unique binary address may be retained by the device until a power-on-reset (POR) or general reset condition occurs. Address detection and address load commands on the serial bus may also perform the same address definition and storage functions.

A clock oscillator includes a high speed oscillator generating a high speed clock signal and comprising a digital trimming function; a counter receiving said high speed clock signal at a clock input; a time base having a low drift and controlling said counter, wherein the counter generates a difference between a reference value and a counter value; and a digital integrator receiving said difference value and providing trimming data for said high speed oscillator.
