摘要:
A noise-shaping coder with variable or reconfigurable characteristics is disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, an improved apparatus for signal modulation is disclosed. The apparatus (see figure 1) generally comprises a noise-shaping coder having programmable coefficients, (see figure 1, CSEL), programmable coder order (see figure 1, MSEL), programmable oversampling frequency (see figure 1, CKEN), and/or programmable dither (see figure 1, D). In a second exemplary embodiment, an improved method for implementing noise shaping coding is disclosed. The apparatus generally compromises a means for switching from one order coder to another order coder, as well as switching oversampling frequency.

摘要:
A radio frequency digital-to-analog converter with a programmable current output. In exemplary aspects of the invention, improved apparatus and methods for providing (i) current mirror matching, (ii) enhanced current pulse rising edge performance, (ii) reduced base voltage swing, and (iv) compensated high voltage swing, are provided. The foregoing apparatus and methods can be applied to any RF signal application (wireless or otherwise), including for example wireless cellular handsets.
摘要:
Improved interpolator (1304) and decimator (1324) apparatus and methods, including the addition of an elastic storage element (192) comprises a FIFO which advantageously allows short term variation in sample clocks to be absorbed, and also provides a feedback mechanism for controlling a delta-sigma modulated modulo-N counter based sample clock generator. The elastic element combined with a delta-sigma modulator and counter creates a noise-shaped frequency lock loop without additional components, resulting in a much simplified imterpolator and decimator.
