摘要:
Signal conversion of an input signal can be achieved by processing portions of the signal through plural parallel paths, which collectively approximate a desired infinite impulse response (IIR) filter, either alone or implemented with other signal processing functions. In one aspect, each of the paths can perform filtering, noise-shaping and/or quantization on a respective portion of the input signal to provide a corresponding representation of the respective portion of the input signal, for example, a coarser representation at a higher data rate. The corresponding representations from the parallel paths can be aggregated and further processed in a desired manner, such as conversion to an analog signal.
摘要:
Signal conversion is implemented employing a memory system operating as a look-up table that stores a plurality of sets of output samples associated with each of a plurality of respective input samples. The look-up table thus can generate a corresponding set of output samples in response to a given input sample, thereby emulating desired digital upsampling and delta-sigma modulation. The output samples can be aggregated, such as by multiplexing, to provide an output data stream at a desired sample rate.
摘要:
Frequency synthesis is implemented by providing a delta-sigma modulated signal associated with a selected frequency, which frequency can vary based on a selection input. The delta-sigma modulated signal is converted from the digital to analog domain. The delta-sigma modulated signal can be provided directly from memory based on the selection input or, alternatively, it can be provided by a signal generator and processed by a delta-sigma modulator to provide the delta-sigma modulated signal. The selected frequency can be varied at a high rate of speed.
