    摘要: The invention relates to an active current mode sampling circuit comprising an operational amplifier (103) and at least one switched capacitor (C2, C2a, C2b). In order to reduce the power consumption of such a circuit, first switching elements (S101a, S101b, S102a, S102b) switch the switched capacitor (C2, C2a, C2b) between an input and an output of the operational amplifier (103) during charging phases phi1. Further, second switching elements (S103a, S103b, S104a, S104b) connect the switched capacitor (C2, C2a, C2b) during discharging phases phi2 to a subsequent stage (104), in order to provide a charge of the switched capacitor (C2, C2a, C2b) to the subsequent stage (104). The invention relates equally to a device (107) comprising such a sampling circuit and to a method of operating such a sampling circuit.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for performing Dynamic Element Matching (DEMs 12/14). The method operates to input a plurality of digital values and, for each value, to generate a plurality of N signals intended respectively to drive a plurality of N elements. The plurality of signals are generated (12) so as to average the usage of individual elements over time. The method further rearranges (14) the signals so as to suppress the generation of undesired tones. Periodic rearrangement occurs only at a time when an enable signal that is input to a secondary DEM (14) from a primary DEM (12). Signals are generated by the primary DEM (12) using a cyclic DEM algorithm, and the periodic rearrangment performed by the secondary DEM (14) is preferably based on randomization or pseudo-randomization.

    摘要: A multimode communications device includes an RF section and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) located in a receive path between the RF section and a baseband section. The ADC includes a programmable signal converter core operable to perform ADC functions on a received RF signal in accordance with different types of mobile communication device operational modes, and further includes a multimode control function for programming the signal converter core as a function of a currently selected operational mode. The programmable signal converter core preferably includes a sigma-delta modulator, and a signal analysis function is provided for analyzing the received RF signal for dynamically programming the converter core to adapt to temporary signal and interference conditions by increasing or decreasing the performance of the signal converter. The signal analysis function may be embodied as a decimation filter having an input coupled to an output of the modulator, or by a digital signal processor forming a portion of a baseband section. The programmable signal converter core may be programmed to change the number of bits used by the sigma-delta modulator and/or a loop filter transfer function and loop filter coefficients, or a number of quantizer levels, or decimator coefficients and word width. The sigma-delta modulator bias currents may also be changed, as may a selected type of dynamic element matching function, each as a function of the selected mode. Other operational criteria that can be changed include the sigma-delta modulator oversampling ratio and/or a change from a switched capacitor to a resistor-capacitor circuit technique, or vice versa.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for performing Dynamic Element Matching (DEM). The method operates to input a plurality of digital values and, for each value, to generate a plurality of N signals individual ones of which are intended to drive one of a plurality of N elements. The plurality of signals are generated so as to average the usage of individual ones of the N elements over time. The method further periodically rearranges the plurality of N signals so as to suppress the generation of undesired periodicities or tones in the usage of the N elements, and without affecting the averaging of the usage of the N elements. Preferably the periodic rearrangement occurs only at a time when the usage of the N elements is indicated as being averaged using, for example, an enable signal that is input to a secondary DEM block from a primary DEM block. The plurality of N signals are preferably generatd by the primary DEM block using a cyclic DEM algorithm, such as a Data Weighted Averaging (DWA) algorithm or a rotation-based Clocked Averaging (CLA) algorithm, and the periodic rearrangment performed by the secondary DEM block is preferably based on randomization or pseudo-randomization.
